What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

Plot: There was some sort of war on her village and her and some other girls were kidnapped and sold to a man as sex slaves. They were kept in a room with bars on the window, but eventually escaped. They were also at some sort of camp or something and there was one man who was being very nice to the writer, but he ended up saying he only wanted to marry her which upset her.

Read: Last year, but the person who owned the book may have had it for a while.

Were they taken to a harem, like in a palace? Or just a regular house?

Was the book written by the woman who survived, or by a journalist?

They were taken to a regular house. The book was written by a survivor. (thanks!)

How about A Cave in the Clouds: A Young Woman's Escape from ISIS by Badeeah Hassan Ahmed?

It's YA non-fiction... although it came out sometime in 2019.

Thank you, but I don't believe that's it :( The story sounds very similar, though.

Damn, I was just going to suggest A Cave in the Clouds, lol.

Grace, do you have any idea what country it might have been set in?

I haven't read this book but is it The Last Girl: My Story of Captivity, and My Fight Against the Islamic State by Nadia Murad? It's nonfiction and came out last year.The Last Girl: My Story of Captivity, and My Fight Against the Islamic State

It's not that book, but that did help me find which book it is! It's The Girl Who Escaped ISIS. They have very similar stories. I'm so happy to have found it!

Thanks! I haven't figured out how to link books yet 😬

You're welcome, Grace. That's a common problem.
