A Promise to Nadia: A True Story of a British Slave in the Yemen Paperback – December 14, 2010

"A Promise to Nadia" is Zana Muhsen's follow-up to her best-selling book, Sold. In her latest book she writes about her and her mother's plight to bring her sister home, out of slavery safely. The story is at times sad and even tragic, but it is also uplifting and inspirational. This is one of the most riveting and detailed books that I have ever read. I hope one day Zana will write a new book to update readers on Nadia. Anyone who is studying world events, geography and especially the Middle East will certainly appreciate this book.

I can't believe that someone had to actually live through what went on in Nadia's life. Nadia is a strong woman. It is very sad that many others go through what she and her sister had to endure. Definitely read the first book Sold by the same author.

Her story is horrifying and sad, and this book and her first one (sold) both really capture the story, made me feel the annoyance and anger that Zana felt.book is great condition, excellent price and fast shipping

This book really annoyed me as far as the law is concerned - I'm not a women's libber but by golly there's some people out there who have things to answer for!

great true story

The story is heartbreaking. I was hoping it was written to describe Nadia's salvation from Yemen. Not so. The writing is very poor and the book goes nowhere. The repeated description of how the author felt is annoying. Emotions, feelings are described ad nauseam.

This heart wrenching story should never have to be told. Through the courage of "Nadia" it is. WE feel the pain of a girl lost and sold into a culture she does not understand and that can never be her own. We see her struggle for freedom against unsurmountable odds. Nadia is indeed a modern day hero. We as a people need to open our eyes and look after one another so this thing can never happen.

riveting! I couldn't put it down what courage!??
