Vesela.K asked this question about Not Without My Daughter:
Why do all of you say such negative thing about the book and things like "It's written this way to make readers sympathize Betty"? Why is it so ubelievable for you that it really is a real story. Everybody knows that women in Islamic world is treated way differently than other religions.
Book Worm There's a difference between criticising and generalising.
The derogatory tone in which she spoke of Iranians including members of her husbands family…moreThere's a difference between criticising and generalising.
The derogatory tone in which she spoke of Iranians including members of her husbands family, criticising the fact they took 'too much sugar' with their tea ( she didn't even pay a penny for it so what right did she have to make such useless comments?!?) and the endless complaining about her life in Iran and her husband was a clear show of what a horrendous witch this Betty is.
Do you even know the other side of the story? Check 'without my daughter' online -that's the true part of it and all the Iranians mentioned in the story will testify what her husband says is true. Seethe woman and her husband and you will know that Dr. Mahmoody was right. He was a distinguished doctor and she was a parasite living off him. An American out to spoil Iran's image and get some cheap publicity too.(less)
