"Five Stars" according to Christine Jonsson. Brilliant.. Heart-wrenching insight into the life of women in Iran PJ, Queensland Kooshyar Karimi is now a doctor in Australia. I listened to his interview with Richard Fidler on ABC radio and have since wanted to read this book.This book tells the story of two main characters living in Iran - Leila and the doctor.Their lives are connected through a plea from Leila to the doctor for his assistance with an unwanted pregnancy, which in this society has placed her life at risk.The Doctor, the author himself, has had an impoverished start to life, but with the encouragement of his highly ambitious mother has been educated and is currently an author, translator and a doctor. He is Jew. Jaydee said A compelling read on a very sensitive subject. I wanted to write to the author after reading this book as it moved me so much. Beautifully written about such a taboo subject. It was awful to read how these poor girls live, not only in fear of their parents but the stigma of becoming pregnant and unmarried was fearful. A compelling read from start to finish, well done Kooshyar karimi
Returning home from the library one day - among the few trips she's allowed out of the house - she meets a handsome shopkeeper, and her fate is sealed. In fundamentalist Iran, new life sometimes means certain death. One of those women is 22 - year - old Leila. When Leila comes to see Doctor Karimi, both are in danger. Spellbinding and heartbreaking. Leila's Secret shows us everyday life for women in a country where it can be a crime to fall in love. But for all its tragedy, this unforgettable book is paradoxically uplifting, told from the heart of Kooshyar's immense sympathy, in the hope that each of us - and the stories we tell - can make a difference.. Beautiful, intelligent, passionate, she yearns to go to university but her strictly traditional family forbids it. Born in a slum to a Muslim father and a Jewish mother, Kooshyar Karimi has transformed himself into a successful doctor, an award - winning writer, and an adoring father. Kooshyar has rescued countless women, but Leila seeks his help for a different reason, one that will haunt him for years afterwards and inspire an impossible quest from faraway Australia. His could be a comfortable life but his conscience won't permit it: he is incapable of turning away the unmarried women who beg him to save their lives by ending the pregnancies that, if discovered, would see them stoned to death
