Description
Burned Alive is a shocking true story of survival and courage. In her village, Souad was subjected to a brutal punishment for falling in love before marriage. Her brother-in-law set her alight, an act that was considered a respectable duty by their community.
Miraculously, Souad survived the horrific attack, but was abandoned by her family and community. It was only through the intervention of a European aid worker that she received the care and sanctuary she needed to start her life again. Now, Souad has decided to tell her story, shedding light on the barbarity of honour killings.
This book is a powerful call to break the taboo of silence surrounding this brutal practice, which continues to affect many women around the world. A testament to one woman's determination to survive and thrive in the face of unimaginable cruelty, Burned Alive is a thought-provoking and deeply personal account.
