Without Mercy
Providing an account of her battle with an abusive man and with bureaucracy, this is the story of a woman's fight against a violent and tyrannical relationship, and her struggle to reclaim her two daughters, sold into marriage in the Yemen. Mirian Kamouhi - half Pakistani, half English - met Muthana Muhsen in Birmingham in 1960, when she was 17. They never married, but had seven children, the two eldest of whom were sent to Yemen in 1966 for a holiday . Their mother, fighting ill-health and with little money, would not meet them again until they were adults.

Escravas
Filhas de pai iemenita e mãe britânica, Zana e Nadia nasceram em Inglaterra, onde viveram até ao dia em que o pai lhes propôs uma visita ao Iémen. As irmãs acreditaram estar perante umas férias de sonho: iam conhecer a família paterna e o país sobre o qual ouviam histórias desde meninas. O que se seguiu, foi um pesadelo. No Iémen, foram separadas e casadas à força com desconhecidos. A viver em condições sub-humanas numa cultura à qual eram alheias, transformaram-se no alvo preferido dos aldeões. Após oito anos de agonia, Zana fugiu. Mas o preço que pagou pela sua liberdade foi tremendo: teve de abandonar o seu filho, Marcus. Nadia não conseguiu. Por amor aos filhos, ficou...
Yemen
Yemen is both the least-known state in the Arabian Peninsula, and the one with the longest continuous history. Several vibrant civilizations flourished in South Arabia in the millennium before the arrival of Islam in 632 AD, and under the Rasulid dynasty (1229-1454), there developed an intellectual, commercial and artistic culture of considerable splendour. The country was occupied at various times by the Portuguese, the Ottomans and the British. When independence came in the 1960s, two separate states emerged; the Yemen Arab Republic in the North, and the (Marxist) People's Democratic Republic of Yemen in the South. Union was achieved in 1990, and despite the civil war of 1994, the wealth generated by the recent discovery of oil and the democratic elections of 1997 promise the new Republic of Yemen a positive future. This edition has been thoroughly revised to take account of recent scholarship.
