Prisoner of Tehran is an autobiography by Marina Nemat about the abrupt end of her childhood. She was arrested by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard at the age of 16, imprisoned, tortured, and sentenced to death without trial. Some of her friends and schoolmates were executed and she escaped death by accepting a forced marriage to her interrogator.
Marina is quite calm and angelic in the book. She tries to do what’s best to never hurt anyone other than herself. What happens to her and her friends, however, triggers more rage than the top five X influencers combined.
I rated it 5*/5 despite the anger the book induces. Knowledge sometimes hurts. This book is a painful read. I need a book by Janet Evanovich next to flush my brain, to forgive and forget.

Despite being triggering, the book is well written, short, and overall fine. But the topic is difficult.

She gets attached to her tormentor and his family. It’s complicated, which makes it a good book. No oversimplification of the issue, it’s not like a fantasy book.
