"Marina Nemat's bestselling Prisoner of Tehran chronicled her arrest, torture, and two-year imprisonment in Iran's notorious Evin prison at the age of sixteen. But when she finally did emerge she faced new challenges: a repressive Islamist regime and a family that didn't want to know too much about her ordeal.

Growing up in Tehran in the 1970s, Marina Nemat enjoyed an idyllic childhood. But when the Iranian revolution reached its height in 1979, Marina's world changed for ever. Prisoner of Tehran is an account of a childhood interrupted, an intimate portrait of revolutionary Iran, and a compelling story of one woman's struggle for life and liberty.
