>> Struggle of the Soul
I bought this book yesterday afternoon and could not put it down until 1 00 a m Roxanna weaves the rich pageantry of the best and worst of the Iranian society with a story of soul searching through the mental and physical anguish of her captivity into an intricate fabric worthy of the finest rugs from Iran Her struggle to tell the truth and do what is right is all too human in the light of all the forced confessions that have occurred since the June election and brings a firsthand prespective into perhaps the least of suffering that those people were going through
It also sheds a brilliant light onto the lives of 2 of the 5 Baha i leader who have been in captivity for over two years for probably sticking to the truth as had many other women for various other beliefs The choice to stand up for what is right vs the violent forces of darkness is put into an all human story firsthand I highly recommend this book
>> A Wonderful Read
Between Two Worlds is an excellent read that I highly recommend I found it especially interesting since I have known the author for many years
She is an incredibly brilliant young woman with a curious nature and an unending thirst for knowledge These characteristics prompted her to sieze the opportunity to fulfill her dream of becoming a foreign correspondent and to learn about her father s homeland
The country and its people fascinated her though she was extremely concerned about the human rights of the citizens
The book is a very vivid well written description of her arrest and unjust incarceration She speaks with much compassion and admiration for her
cellmates
Readers will admire her courage and determination
