Publisher's Synopsis
On September 11th 2001, Carmen Bin Ladin heard the news that the Twin Towers had been struck. She instinctively knew that her brother-in-law's name would be linked to these horrifying acts of terrorism, and her heart went out to the victims in America. She also knew that her life and the lives of her family would never be the same again. In 1974, Carmen - half Swiss and half Persian - married Yeslam Bin Ladin and found herself part of a culture that she neither knew nor understood. Her story takes us inside one of the most powerful, secretive and repressive kingdoms in the world and the Bin Laden* family's role within it. *In accordance with convention, the spelling Bin Laden is used when referring to the clan and its members, and Bin Ladin when referring to Yeslam and Carmen.
