| In the footsteps of Betty Mahmoody's book "Not Without My Daughter", a raft of other western women wrote books about their mixed marriages with men from other continents. The men are mainly orientals. All these women have seen their marriages fail. Although most of them admit they made a wrong choice, they do not necessarily portray their former husbands as unreliable characters and themselves as heroines. The life stories cannot be read from such a narrow perspective. These authors whould take credit for supplying valuable information about family life in oriental culture, as well as the dynamics of cross-cultural marriages. | |
