This is the story of a young woman who, promised the job of a
lifetime, ends up being trafficked to Italy and being sold as a sex
slave. It is written in diary form and tells of her life therein and
what happens to her.
First off, may I issue a warning? This story is utterly
heartbreaking. Some of the things that happen to Elena are truly
horrific but somehow she never quite loses hope that she will be
reunited with her daughter again. Being written in diary form I could
see her in my head and I truly felt the things she was going through.
I am not ashamed to admit I was in tears in places.
This is somewhat of a departure for this author as she is best known
for her chick-lit novels. All I can say is 'Well done Sibel. This is
an amazing novella and the jump from chick-lit to serious has been
made successfully!'
I urge everyone to read this so more people are aware of this
terrible trade in human lives. It must be stopped and can only be
stopped if more are aware that it is going on. Well done, and thank
you Sibel for opening my eyes.
