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.
Kylie’s only lifeline was the covert friendships she made with other prisoners inside the Revolutionary Guards’ maximum-security compound where she had been ‘disappeared’, communicating in great danger through the air vents between cells, and by hiding secret letters in hava khori, the narrow outdoor balcony where she was led, blindfolded, for a solitary hour each day.
Cut off from the outside world, Kylie realised she alone had the power to change the dynamics of her incarceration. To survive, she began to fight back, adopting a strategy of resistance with her captors. Multiple hunger strikes, letters smuggled to the media, co-ordinated protests with other prisoners and a daring escape attempt led to her transfer to the isolated desert prison, Qarchak, to live among convicted criminals.
On November 25, 2020, after more than two years of struggle, Kylie was finally released in a high stakes three-nation prisoner swap deal orchestrated by the Australian government, laying bare the complex game of global politics in which she had become a valuable pawn.
Written with extraordinary insight and vivid immediacy, The Uncaged Sky is Kylie Moore-Gilbert’s remarkable story of courage and resilience, and a powerful meditation on hope, solidarity and what it means to be free.©2022 Kylie Moore-Gilbert (P)2022 W. F. Howes Ltd

Her own voice reading the words gives the listener an deeper emotional connection with her story and the lives of many diverse groups still in prison in Iran: members of religious groups, lawyers, political activists, people who cannot afford to pay for their release, mothers, academics, and still others in the wrong place at the wrong time.
She also manages to explain the wider political context of the brutal repression of protest and free speech in Iran and the Iranian regime's use of hostage 'diplomacy', which eventually saw her release.
Kylie, through this book, advocates that international media attention is important to see improvements in conditions/hope for release for her friends still in prison in Iran and also for morale, to know that people care.
Much more than a simple recount of Kylie's story
