Sour Milk and Stolen Honey is a gripping story of an English woman’s battle to bring her Israeli husband back home to England. It’s a memoir that takes us to the horrific ordeal she had to go through to fulfill a promise.Author Marianne Azizi’s remarkable courage and zeal to fight a seemingly losing battle never wane even if half truths and blatant lies engulf her. What’s really heartbreaking is that her good intentions are met with betrayal and deception that are unheard of outside of Israel.The book is impossible to put down as if it has a stranglehold on you. It stirs up feelings of anger, disappointment, frustration, and the eventual understanding. But beyond the message of unconditional love and never giving up, the one profound thing that this book successfully accomplishes is creating awareness of the plight of men and women who have gone through the same ordeal and are still fighting for their rights up to this day. In that alone, this book should be read, shared, discussed, and read again until change sweeps the rotten system.
