A courageous memoir from a prize-winning poet and prisoner of conscience in Iran

'Against the scale of Iran's past, her testimony reinforces the power of individual conscience and endurance as the only way forward.' —Financial Times

In March 2008, the Intelligence Bureau of Mashhad summoned Mahvash Sabet. She told her husband she would be back home in Tehran by the evening. She wouldn't be released for ten years. The authorities would go on to arrest every other member of the Yárán-i-Irán, the community representatives for Iran's most persecuted religious minority: the Bahá'ís.

Documenting Mahvash Sabet's first ten months of incarceration, in Mashhad and later Evin Prison, Open Wide the Doors is a portrait of Iranian society behind prison walls. It thrums with compassion for Iran's thieves, prostitutes, and even prison guards. If you keep your heart open, Sabet proves, no judge, interrogator or torturer can crush your soul.

Listening to this beautifully translated, extraordinary memoir, is a profound & moving experience. It is like being inside an Iranian prison - and learning what it is like to be in solitary confinement - the mental & spiritual toll these things take. The cruelty & cowardice of the present regime. But extraordinarily, despite its apparently grim subject matter, Mahvash Sabet’s memoir is uplifting , touching & inspiring. It is also gripping. I urge you to listen. It has really opened my mind - I now feel I can imagine & sympathise with Iranian prisoners - both Baha’i & others. I feel I’ve had an insight into another world & feel more a part of humanity. Mahvash Sabet had to smuggle the notepads out of prison in which she wrote this book. Its very existence is a miracle & superhuman achievement. The narration by Cybele Hay is pitch perfect.

Inspiring, powerful memoir
