'Because You Are My Son' is an enchanting novel. "Heartbreaking" - Robert Harris. "An unforgettable story. Captivating details." - Fay Weldon. "Anyone with even the slightest concern for human rights cannot help but be moved by this book" - Betty Mahmoody, author of 'Not Without My Daughter'. Everyone interested in human rights should read this book. A magical and sad story, astonishing, straightforward, sympathetic, and thought-provoking. The novel stirred international public opinion upon its publication, amid astonishment and wonder at what a man might do to his wife in the second decade of the twenty-first century and the physical and spiritual harm inflicted on her as a wife and mother due to assault and abuse. The narrative is compelling despite the intense pain, and it is enough that the author behind it is Jean Sasson, one of the most significant storytellers about the East and its mysteries, shedding light on what many tried to obscure regarding injustice towards women and her being seen as inferior, contrary to all laws, religions, and human logic.
