A review session was held for the book “The Bride of Yemen” which is written by Zeinab Pashapur. This book is the story of the life of Fatemeh Momeni, whose life path led her to the uprising of the Yemeni people and their struggle against the aggression of Saudi Arabia and its allies.

At the beginning of the session, Pashapur said that her entry into the professional world of writing had been with the book "I Am Disserted Without You" which is about her life and her martyred husband. 

She also added that she got acquainted with Fatemeh Momeni through her husband in a ceremony they were invited to as martyr's family.

According to the author, Momeni was good a link to receive Yemeni news without intermediaries, and after some time, she realized that the life of Mrs. Momeni and her husband has the potential to become a good book about the people of Yemen.

This author explained that, unfortunately, the things that happened after the publication of this book, including the arrest of Mr. Hassan al-Emad, caused this book not to be seen, and they could not even invite him to the book’s revealing ceremony.

Pashapur stated that when the book was published, it quickly became very famous in Yemen, and especially the media close to Saudi Arabia in this country showed a lot of reactions.

Pashapour expressed that they had planned to translate and publish this book in Arabic, but things turned out differently, and they will publish this translation as soon as possible.

Regarding the difficulties of writing the book with several narrators, the author said that although it made the work challenging, it also made it interesting. According to her, while writing, she put herself in the shoes of the readers and tried her best to make the reader enjoy reading the book while receiving its main message.
