'All the men I did get to know, every single one of them, has filled me with but one desire: to lift my hand and bring it smashing down on his face. But because I am a woman, I have never had the courage to lift my hand. And because I am a prostitute, I hid my fear under layers of make-up.' So begins Firdaus' story, leading to her grimy Cairo prison cell, where she welcomes her death sentence as a relief from her pain and suffering.

Fly Goose...Shoo...do not buy this!

Whatever you do, do not buy this book. Somehow the producers have managed to take a beautiful play and suck the life right out of it. The translation is horrible and the voice "talent" is very lacking.

To borrow from the play--they mouth their verse and moan their tragedy (of course, you won't hear this line in this production)

The money spent here is better spent purchasing the Jose Ferrer movie. Buy this audiobook only if you enjoy great language butchered.

And, as I end the review, thrust home!
