En savoir plus sur le livre

In 1974, Carmen Dufour - half-Swiss and half-Persian - married into the Bin Laden family. Young and in love, the independent European woman joined a complex clan and culture she neither knew nor understood. In Saudi Arabia, she was forbidden to leave her home without a head-to-toe black abaya. Carmen was an outsider among the Bin Laden wives, who had closets full of haute couture dresses, yet could not go outside unchaperoned. In 1988, in Switzerland, Carmen separated from her husband and began a tough battle for custody of her three daughters. Now, with her candid memoir, she dares to pull off the veils that conceal one of the most powerful, secretive, and repressive countries in the world. Book jacket.
