Description

JOINT WINNER OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE Nadia Murad is a courageous young Yazidi woman who has endured unimaginable tragedy and degradation through sexual enslavement to ISIS. Six of Nadia's brothers were killed, and her mother soon after, their bodies swept into mass graves. But she has fought back. This inspiring memoir takes us from her peaceful childhood in Iraq through loss and brutality to safety in Germany. She is the subject of Alexandria Bombach's film On Her Shoulders, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee and the first Goodwill Ambassador for the Dignity of Survivors of Human Trafficking of the United Nations. Courage and testimony can change the world: this is one of those books. 'Those who thought that by their cruelty they could silence her were wrong. Nadia Murad's spirit is not broken, and her voice with not be muted' Amal Clooney 'Offers powerful insight into the barbarity the Yazidi suffered alongside glimpses into their mystical culture... this is an important book by a brave woman' The Times 'Courageous... Anyone who wants to understand the so-called Islamic State should read The Last Girl' The Economist
