This story is truly touching and I personally laughed and cried with the characters.I truly felt as if I was there with Zana in her struggle to get her sister out of her terrible situation.Although this is an amazing book I believe that Islam is portayed negativley and that the men in this book use Islam as an exuse to abuse their women. A truly wonderful and thought provoking read. (read more)

This story shows just how sick some people can be, be it your own family. These 2 sisters have suffered too much. Personally i don't think Nadia coming back to England would be good.. She is by now a full Yemeni woman. By all means her family should be allowed to visit her. I am 1 years old, she has been there for all the years i have been alive. It would be difficult and unfait for her to come back, unless she is ready to once again, accept another major change. I really hope she is fine, I... (read more)

Zana Muhsen is a very brave woman who just wants justice. It's not fair that her and her sister Nadia never had the childhood we often take for granted. I am the same age Nadia and Zana were when they were taken away and after reading A Promise to Nadia , I vow to never take my family for granted ever. (read more)
“Zana Muhsen Andrew Crofts A Promise to Nadia, ”

Zana Muhsen Andrew Crofts A Promise to Nadia,
All I can say is wow! I couldn't stop reading this book. For someone who has never been to the Yemin, it gives you a real insight into how horrible and cruel lifestyle these people lead. The book tells a story of Zana, who escaped a life of slavery in the Yeman into which her father had sold her as a child bride, leaving behind her son, her sister Nadia and Nadia's 2 small children who she vows to do everything she can to find freedom for...

Written on: 05/06/2007
The review from Nardy 2006 seems to say that Nadia is back in England, she says that they are her Aunties,so I hope Nadia and her family are in England. What about Zana's son what has happened to him? I've read both books and both were so good,but I wish there was a third to let us know what is happening, lets hope this has had a happy ending at last.
