Jacky Trevane è lo pseudonimo di un'autrice britannica che, nel suo libro Fatwa: Living with a Death Threat, racconta la sua presunta fuga dal marito e da una fatwa. Tuttavia, la sua narrazione della vita al Cairo e della successiva rottura del matrimonio ha incontrato resoconti contraddittori da parte del marito, che nega molte delle sue affermazioni. Quest'opera presenta una storia profondamente personale di scontro culturale e crisi personale, invitando i lettori a considerare le diverse prospettive all'interno della narrazione.
The amazing story of a woman who risked her life to get herself and her two little girls out of Cairo and away from an abusive husband. Now living in the shadow of a Fatwa, a Muslim death threat, this memoir will ensure that her story is never forgotten...
Many of the women who contacted Jacky after the publication of Fatwa identified with her horrific story of abuse and violent harassment. Jacky has interviewed some of these women, from different races and religions, whose suffering has remained invisible within society. From the woman who was neglected and abused by her whole family as a child to a teenage girl fighting against a forced arranged marriage, these stories are diverse and moving and sometimes without a happy ending. Invisible Women is a reminder that women are still vulnerable to abuse and control, but it also shows the remarkable inner resources by which they can survive.

The whole dating-scene journey teaches a naïve new Tinderella to be wary and wise as most of the men she meets fall into the above categories - but not all The story opens in the present day, November 2020, and flips back to 'Once upon a Time/How it all Began', specifically October 2019, progresses through 2020 and the advent of Covid-19, and through the year until the search for the handsome PP, Potential Prince, comes to an end... a fairy tale ending? You'll have to wait and see!
