«Vendues !» is the testimony of Zana Muhsen and Betty Mahmoody, in paperback (309 pages, in French).
In 1980, British sisters Zana and Nadia travel to Yemen believing they are going on vacation; their father sells them to local families and they are forced into marriage, captive in an isolated village. Zana manages to send a letter to England; her story reaches the press and, after years of struggle, she escapes while her sister and her children remain captive.
The English original, Sold, was published in 1991; this French edition, Vendues !, came out in 1992.
For those seeking real testimonies about forced marriages, the situation of women and the fight for freedom.
Zana Muhsen, is a British author known for her book Sold: Story of Modern-day Slavery and its follow-up A Promise to Nadia. The books narrate the experiences that she and her sister Nadia Muhsen went through after they were sold into marriage by their father, Muthanna Muhsen, a Yemeni émigré.
