Description
Carmen Bin Ladin's story takes us inside one of the world's most powerful and secretive societies. In 1974, she married into the complex clan of Bin Laden, part of a society that at that point she neither knew nor understood. The events of September 11th 2001 had a profound impact on Carmen's life and those of her family. As news of the Twin Towers' destruction spread, she instinctively knew that her brother-in-law's name would be linked to these acts of terrorism. This book is a personal account of one woman's experience living inside this repressive kingdom. Carmen Bin Ladin's memoir offers a unique perspective on life within one of the world's most powerful and mysterious societies.
