November Ladies Book Club - The Uncaged Sky (Kylie Moore-Gilbert)

We will have a picnic under the trees along Banyan Lawn at Roma Park. Bring a picnic rug, snacks, and anything else you would like at a picnic. If the weather is rainy, we will most likely meet at the Garden Room nearby, but will update the event closer to the date.

Genre for the month: When religion goes too far

Blurb:
"On September 12, 2018 British-Australian academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert was arrested at Tehran Airport by Iran’s feared Islamic Revolutionary Guards. Convicted of espionage in a shadowy trial presided over by Iran’s most notorious judge, Dr Moore-Gilbert was sentenced to 10 years in Pr*son.
Incarcerated in Tehran’s Evin and Qarchak prisons for 804 days, this is the full and gripping account of her harrowing ordeal. Held in a filthy solitary confinement cell for months, and subjected to relentless interrogation, Kylie was pushed to the limits of her endurance by extreme physical and psychological deprivation."
Other options we voted on:

• Black Flags: The Rise of ISIS - Joby Warrick
