In July of 1980, at the age of fifteen, Zana Muhsen went on a holiday to Yemen, accompanied by Abdul Khada (a friend of her father) and his eldest son, Mohammed. She went for six weeks, alone but for these strangers, to a distant foreign country. Her sister Nadia was to join her in two weeks' time. She went to enjoy the sun and the vast plains of Yemen, to ride horses and lie on the beautiful palm-lined beaches of her father's homeland that he had so often described to her. A dream holiday. The same holiday that her father had arranged years before for her older sister and brother, when Zana was just a baby. Aged 3 and 4 when they went to Yemen, they never came home.
