Format:Paperback
This book is a heart renching story about two sisters who were bought up in Birmingham England and were sold into slavery by their wretched father. The story unfolds and speaks of how poorly treated these sisters Nadia and Zana were treated. Zana and Nadia were sold into slavery at a very young age and was tricked by their evil father into believeing they were going on holiday. Reading this book is definitly a good story to read but a painful one. The stories ''SOLD'' and ''Without Mercy'' combined together are the true stories of the sisters. However sadened you may feel reading these stories it enlightens one to how people are treated in the Middle East. How poor young innocent girls like Zana and Nadia are treated by men and are under men's authority in a contry such as Yemen. This book is definitly worth buying. The greatest story that was ever told.

It was good as this book fits in with the book SOLD by Zana Muhsen like hand fits in glove. This was infact a more detailed version to SOLD and is most definetly recommended.
THe mothers' emotions and feelings and the lead to her mental illness caused by the loss of her two daughters was well scripted. We got to learn about a mothers' side of the story. It is definetly a different angle to the story and is worth reading.
It covers the aspects or questions zana was asking while stuck in the Yemen. Together the two books compliment each other perfectly. It covers the subject and the terrible life a mother was living when the girls were taken away. I recommend this book to all of you who have read SOLD, as this covers all the questions you will ask yourself when reading sold or who are eager to learn more on this story. It also cover aspects of Zana second book.

for those of you who have asked about an update, have you read "a promise to nadia" by zana muhsen and andrew crofts? (same authors of the origianal "SOLD") Printed in 2000, it is VERY up to date, and follows the struggle to free Nadia in the ten years since Zana left the Yemen. Deffinately worth a read. Sorry though, this still does not finish the story.

As with "A Promise to Nadia", I found the story engrossing but lacking somewhat in the narrative. Poorly written really. Read more
