Otroligt gripande. Starkt av Nadia Murad att kämpa vidare och berätta sin historia.

Så viktig bok skriven av 2018 års fredsnobelpristagare. Modigt och starkt att berätta om folkmordet i Kocho och hur hon och hundratals andra kidnappades och såldes som sexslavar till IS. Jag hade i princip obefintlig kunskap om Yazidier, så boken är både utbildande och berättande. Fruktansvärt det som hänt, men fantastiskt att Nadia Murad fått fredspriset.
