Jacky was 23 toen ze in Egypte aankwam voor een vakantie met haar vriend Dave. Ze kon onmogelijk vermoeden dat een onschuldige vakantie zou veranderen in een nachtmerrie. Terwijl ze Dave kwijtraakt in het gewoel van een drukke straat, valt Jacky en verzwikt ze haar enkel. Ze wordt geholpen door Omar, een galante, knappe Egyptenaar. Het is liefde op het eerste gezicht.
Hij neemt haar mee naar huis, waar Jacky gastvrij door de familie wordt ontvangen. Binnen tien dagen trouwt ze met Omar. Daarna keert ze terug naar haar ouders in Engeland. Tegen het advies van haar ouders in reist ze terug naar Cairo en bekeert zich tot de islam. Hoewel ze hoopvol is en vol plannen zit, verandert Jacky's droom in een verstikking. Zes jaar lang mishandelt Omar haar en pleegt hij emotionele chantage. Dan beslist Jacky met haar twee kleine dochters te ontsnappen. Maar hoe?
Jacky Trevane leeft nu in Engeland onder de schaduw van een doodsbedreiging. Ze moet zichzelf en haar dochters elke minuut van de dag beschermen, want de Fatwa houdt nog steeds stand. Vandaar dat ze haar waargeuerde, traumatische verhaal onder pseudoniem schreef. Fatwa is een huiveringwekkende leeservaring in de traditie van Not Without My Daughter.

Eye-opening stories from some corageous women.

Invisible Women starts with an abreviated version of Jacky Trevane's first book, Fatwa. I haven't read this and in a way, wish I had read it first and ommitted the first 56 pages of this book.
The following 8 chapters are devoted to the stories of 8 women whose circumstances, all beyond their own control, have led to them being in the position of feeling "invisible". It's an interesting concept for a book and one that worked well. Nearly all these women had come to know the author via her Fatwa website. They contacted her with their own sad tales and to her best ability she helped and guided them. Many, in fact I'd say, most of the stories do not have happy endings - it is more a matter of learning to cope with situations.

Ms Trevane's own experiences left her psychologically wounded, with an understanding for other peoples' problems that she probably would not otherwise have had. I kept feeling that she should go for some sort of phsychology training to give her the confidence to do what she is obviously so talented at.
What really impressed me was that she was prepared to be there for these women in spite of the memories that their situations must have stirred in her. In my limited experience of people who have been through trauma, the victims want, quite rightly, to move on, and can't cope with the raw wounds opened when others talk of similar suffering.

A short, quick read that left me determined to be available for friends if and when they might need me.
I hope it helps women who feel alone and unloved.
There are also some very useful e mail addresses in the back for professional advice and support.
