SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NON FICTION AND THE RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE.
A GUARDIAN AND OBSERVER BOOK OF THE YEAR.
An intimate, deeply reported account of the women who made a shocking decision: to leave their ordinary lives behind and join the Islamic State.
These women, some still in school, some with university degrees, many with cosmopolitan dreams of travel and adventure, left their homes and lives in the West to join what they thought would be a movement of justice and piety. Instead, they found themselves trapped in the most brutal terrorist regime of the twenty-first century. Azadeh Moaveni tells their stories with little intervention, providing just enough context for us to see how and why they were pulled into this world.
- A radically different look at ISIS from the inside, this is a surprising and riveting human story which reveals the reality behind the headlines in cases such as Shamima Begum’s, and will appeal to readers of investigative reportage such as Katherine Boo’s Behind the Beautiful Forevers.
- Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize, the hardback received fantastic reviews across the board, including in the FT, The Guardian, The Sunday Times, The Times, was serialised in The Observer, and the author was interviewed on several BBC shows including Radio 4 ‘Today’.
