Vers la liberté

"Towards Freedom" is a poignant literary work by Mahtob Mahmoody that recounts the dramatic story of her childhood. As the daughter of an American woman and an Iranian doctor, Mahtob is taken to Iran at the age of four with her parents, where she finds herself in a hopeless situation. The book depicts the experiences of Mahtob and her mother, who are trapped in a repressive environment for over a year and a half. The author not only describes the physical and psychological challenges they endured but also the hope and relentless struggle for freedom. After escaping this hell, she addresses the difficulties associated with starting a new life and the constant fear of reliving the traumatic experiences. Mahmoody provides a deep insight into the effects of trauma and the power of hope that accompanied her and her mother during their flight.
