The MAJOR DIFFERENCE between "Her husband was an abusive jerk, but so are a lot of white (?) (what's with the "white" term?) American husbands..." is that here, in America, the wife is permitted to divorce the husband or separate from him or get a restraining order legally stopping him from bothering her. I am surprised you equated abuse here in the U.S. with abuse in Iran against wives. I hope you never marry outside the United States & are naive enough to believe that our options here are reflected around the globe. Wow!
I would like to ask what you would do in that situation. Instead of criticizing try putting yourself in her shoes. Your husband won't let you go home, you worry for the safety of your child with you, and your fathers dying at home in America. Then your husband sends your daughter to a school were to get in they have to spit on the american flag, the flag of the country you want to go back to. I would like to see someone try to stay completely open minded in that situation.
You just made our point in saying: "...BUT I GOT OUT..." So did Betty, but she had one heck of a harder time "getting out" than you did. And if you disagree with that, then you already came to the book with a preconceived bias.
Celina, Ms. Mahmoody (author) isn't making up her story about what had happened to her and her child. Not all in-laws are good and kind. Especially when "religion" and fanatic Islamists are concerned! Search and read more about it if you can't believe her. Also religion has nothing to do with color. Bad marriages, bad in-laws happen and exist everywhere. Some religions condone and oppress women but Islam is definitely the worst of all as everything's also connected to politics.
You got out of your "bad" marriage in a "Free" western country. Were you under the same circumstances, country, religion ...you'd be writing this story!
This is wrong. You OBVIOUSLY did not finish the book, because she becomes friends with a GUY from IRAN and he says, quote "Do not worry, not everyone is like this in Iran" And she properly mentions everyone who was nice and good in Iran. Oh, and I was born in Iran, and we are filthy! Horrible! She did'int even say the worst stuff! So yeah, poor argument.
Why don't you fly to Iran and tell us what it's really like (if you'll ever get out of there. Most likely you'll be raped till you'll die)

Who marries a man from a foreign country with a different religion and knows nothing about his culture? And has no interest in knowing or trying to experience any of it? And just hating every single thing- how much sugar other people put in their coffee???
