Beschreibung

<p><b><strong>A courageous memoir from a prize-winning poet and prisoner of conscience in Iran</strong></b></p><p><strong>'Against the scale of Iran's past, her testimony reinforces the power of individual conscience and endurance as the only way forward.' <em><strong>Financial Times</strong></em></strong></p><p>In March 2008, the Intelligence Bureau of Mashhad summoned Mahvash Sabet. She told her husband she would be back home in Tehran by the evening. She wouldn't be released for ten years. The authorities would go on to arrest every other member of the <em>Yárán-i-Irán</em>, the community representatives for Iran's most persecuted religious minority: the Bahá'ís.</p><p>Documenting Mahvash Sabet's first ten months of incarceration, in Mashhad and later Evin Prison, <em>Open Wide the Doors </em>is a portrait of Iranian society behind prison walls. It thrums with compassion for Iran's thieves, prostitutes, and even prison guards. If you keep your heart open, Sabet proves, no judge, interrogator or torturer can crush your soul.</p>
