Absolutely horrifying account of the stoning of an Iranian woman accused by her unfaithful and abusive husband of being unfaithful (a harlot and a slut). I just can't even get into the awful way this poor woman was treated by not only her husband but by her father, her sons and her whole village, it's enough to make me physically sick to my stomach. A quick read but not an easy one. I almost wish I hadn't read it, this ones going to affect my heart for a long time.
