Book ID/图书代码： 13620009B33243
English Summary/英文概要： Sabatina James has been sentenced to death by her family.
Sabatina spent half her childhood as an Islamic Pakistani living in Austria. Immersed in a westernized culture, she began to rebel against the stifling Islamic rules placed on women. Furious, her parents dragged her back to Pakistan under false pretences and announced an arranged engagement to her disrespectful cousin. After Sabatina refused the union, her family sent her by force to a strict Koran school where she endured constant beatings and mental abuse. In defiance of her oppressive conditions, she fled her family and converted to Christianity, an act deemed punishable by death in Islamic culture.
Since then, her parents have pursued her to enact their retribution, causing Sabatina to live a lonely and reclusive life in hiding. But she has also persevered becoming an activist for women’s rights and religious freedom.
In the vein of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s New York Times bestseller Infidel, Sabatina’s memoir heartbreakingly illustrates the struggle of a young woman trapped between two incompatible cultures and her subsequent fight for freedom. This translation includes a new introduction in which Sabatina updates her readers on her life since the book’s initial publication.

About the Author/作者介绍： Sabatina James, (the name is a pseudonym) was born in Pakistan in 1982 and is now an Austrian citizen. At the age of ten, she moved with her family from Pakistan to Linz. She learned German and attended secondary school. When Sabatina was sixteen, her parents decided that she had become too Westernized and sent her back to Pakistan; there she was forced to attend a strict Koran school where she was beaten and mistreated. When she was then expected to marry against her will, the young Muslim fled her martyrdom, returning to Europe. There, Islam’s harsh response was even louder: on June 12, 2001, her family sentenced her to death. Since then, Sabatina has been hiding in southern Germany.
