Prisoner of Tehran by Marina Nemat... In this exquisitely poignant memoir, Marina Nemat reveals her heartbreaking life story as a young girl in Iran at the time of the Islamic Revolution led by Ayatollah Khomeini. In January 1982, at the age of sixteen, Marina Nemat was arrested, tortured, and sentenced to death for political crimes. Her memoir is unique, written in a beautiful and tender style. Her search for emotional redemption extends to her captors, her husband and his family, and the country of her birth; to all of them, she gives the greatest gift: forgiveness.
