Reviews
"Some of the torture scenes are graphic, but there is a great sense of humanity and caring in the face of unreasonable treatment and abuse…the insight of the book is universal."
Kliatt
"Its hard to stop reading…Horrible as it is, you dont want to turn away from the girls first-person nightmare. The language in The Bathhouse is simple, the dialogue taut, the tension immediate."
Houston Chronicle
"[A] gut-wrenching, eye-opening novel. The Bathhouse shows what happens when ideology runs amok. It honors the humanity and sacrifice of the victims."
