«Jamais sans ma fille» is the autobiographical account by Betty Mahmoody and William Hoffer, published by Fixot in hardback (402 pages, in French).
In August 1984, Betty Mahmoody, a housewife from Michigan, travels with her Iranian husband and her daughter Mahtob to Iran for a two-week holiday that ends in captivity. Confined in a country hostile to Americans and with women subjugated, her only hope is a clandestine network that does not want to take the risk of hiding the child.
First volume of the Not Without My Daughter series; the original work, published in 1987, is written in English.
It is aimed at readers of memoirs and true survival stories, with an interest in Iran, cultural clash and the situation of women.
Betty Mahmoody is an American author and public speaker. In 1984, during a visit to Iran with her husband and daughter, he refused to let them return to the United States, holding them captive in Iran and subjecting them to constant abuse until she escaped with her daughter to Turkey in 1986. After she and her daughter returned to the US and after her divorce to Moody, she garnered media attention in 1987 when she published Not Without My Daughter, a memoir recounting her captivity in Iran. MGM-Pathé Communications adapted her memoir into a film in 1991.
