A note for parents
This is an adult memoir addressing serious political and personal themes unsuitable for younger readers. Hirsi Ali describes her experiences with physical abuse, female genital mutilation, arranged marriage, death threats, and the murder of a filmmaker—presented with unflinching honesty. While the book celebrates resilience and freedom of conscience, these mature subjects require the emotional development of a high school reader or older.

'Remarkable . . . Infidel shows that a determined woman can change more history than her own' Christopher Hitchens, Sunday Times 'If there is one book that really addresses the existential issues of our civilisation, then Hirsi Ali's autobiography is it' Michael Burleigh, Sunday Telegraph Ayaan Hirsi Ali is one of today's most admired and controversial political figures. She burst into international headlines following the murder of Theo van Gogh by an Islamist who threatened she would be next. An international bestseller, her life story INFIDEL shows the coming of age of this elegant, distinguished – and sometimes reviled – political superstar and champion of free speech. Ultimately a celebration of triumph over adversity, Hirsi Ali's story tells how a bright, curious, dutiful little girl evolves into a pioneering freedom fighter. As Western governments struggle to balance democratic ideals with religious pressures, no other book could be more timely, or more significant.
