Reham Khan’s eventful life took her from Gaddafi’s Libya to Zia’s Pakistan and thence to England as a teenage bride, before she returned to Pakistan in her forties. Her life has been one of odd contrasts: she has been through a violent marriage and domestic abuse, and has had to negotiate the murky world of Pakistan politics; but her story also includes the rebuilding of her life after she chose to end her first marriage, raising three children single-handedly and on the same time, building herself a successful career both in the United Kingdom and in Pakistan. Reham Khan’s story is in the end one of resilience, strength, courage and conviction. It’s the story of a woman who believed in herself and stood up to the world even supposing the odds were stacked against her – and in the end emerged victorious. In clear, crisp prose, Reham Khan tells her story with wit, intelligence and candour. This can be a memoir so that they can engage and surprise readers of every age and of both genders; to many it is going to be an inspirational tale from a woman who fought for respect and for her identity on her own terms, a woman who is a survivor, and a winner.
