Spellbinding and heartbreaking, the true story told by Kooshyar Karimi in Leila''s Secret shows us everyday life for women in a country where it can be a crime to fall in love. Born in a slum to a Muslim father and a Jewish mother, Kooshyar Karimi has transformed himself into a successful doctor, an award-winning writer, and an adoring father. His could be a comfortable life but his conscience won''t permit it: he is incapable of turning away the unmarried women who beg him to save their lives by ending the pregnancies that, if discovered, would see them stoned to death. One of those women is 22-year-old Leila. Beautiful, intelligent, passionate, she yearns to go to university but her strictly traditional family forbids it. Returning home from the library one day – among the few trips she''s allowed out of the house – she meets a handsome shopkeeper, and her fate is sealed. Kooshyar has rescued countless women, but Leila seeks his help for a different reason, one that will haunt him for years afterwards and inspire an impossible quest from faraway Australia. For all its tragedy, this unforgettable book is paradoxically uplifting, told from the heart of Kooshyar''s immense sympathy, in the hope that each of us – and the stories we tell – can make a difference. ''[A] remarkable book . . . Karimi earns our trust through his experiences and his sympathy with the plight of the marginalised.''

Robin de Crespigny, author of The People Smuggler''A riveting account of one girl''s innocent spirit defying the tyranny of Iran''s crushing regime. It is a masterpiece of moral impossibilities and climactic suspense.'' Bob Brown ''An absolutely stunning book. Leila''s story is deeply affecting and Kooshyar Karimi is a consummate storyteller.'' Shirley Walker, Author of The Ghost at the Wedding ''Leila''s Secret brims with compassion and yearning and eloquently shares the story of a regime suffocating its people and losing all that was great about it. To read this book is to see inside a culture and understand the desperation of its people.'' The Hoopla ''Compelling and powerful.'' Sunday Age''Inspiring . . . often harrowing . . . Offers insight into how and why one man is willing to put the welfare of others before his own safety.'' Townsville Bulletin
