Carmen Bin Ladin

Grand Central Publishing

A New York Times Bestseller
 In 1974 Carmen married into the Bin Laden family. She was young and in love, an independent European woman about to join a complex clan and culture she neither knew nor understood. By 1988, she had separated from her husband and began a tough battle for custody of her three daughters. In this candid memoir, she dares to pull off the veils that conceal one of the most powerful, secretive, and repressive countries in the world.

On September 11th 2001, Carmen Bin Laden heard the news on the radio that the Twin Towers had been struck. She instinctively knew that her brother-in-law was involved in these horrifying acts of terrorism, and her heart went out to America. She also knew that her life and the lives of her family would never be the same again. In 1974 Carmen, half Swiss and half Persian, married into the Bin Laden family and found herself inside a complex and vast clan, part of a society that she neither knew nor understood. Determined to protect her daughters from the inevitable restrictions within a society riddled with hypocrisy and contradiction, in 1985 Carmen moved back to her home country, Switzerland. Carmen's story takes us inside one of the most powerful, secretive and repressive kingdoms in the world and the Bin Laden family's role within it, and she is one of the few women to have acquired, through her husband, intimate knowledge of the inner workings of this society.
