Reviews
The most compelling passages are about a form of religious experience - the struggle of this young American-Iranian as she moves from false 'confessions' calculated to secure freedom to fierce truth-telling that grants her an inner liberation so powerful that even death is no longer frightening. (Roger Cohen, The New York Times ) Between Two Worlds is an extraordinary story of how an innocent young woman got caught up in the current of political events and met individuals whose stories vividly depict human rights violations in Iran. (Shirin Ebadi, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize ) The author vividly conveys the fear, confusion and uncertainty experienced by an innocent person trapped in a repressive system where human rights norms have no meaning. Despite her ordeal, she draws strength and inspiration from other women prisoners of conscience detained with her in Tehran's infamous Evin Prison. (Elise Auerbach, Iran specialist for Amnesty International USA
