À propos de cet audio

 The New York Times bestselling memoir of a woman whose curiosity led her to the world’s most remote places and then into fifteen months of captivity: “Exquisitely told…A young woman’s harrowing coming-of-age story and an extraordinary narrative of forgiveness and spiritual triumph” (The New York Times Book Review).

As a child, Amanda Lindhout escaped a violent household by paging through issues of National Geographic and imagining herself visiting its exotic locales. At the age of nineteen, working as a cocktail waitress, she began saving her tips so she could travel the globe. Aspiring to understand the world and live a significant life, she backpacked through Latin America, Laos, Bangladesh, and India, and emboldened by each adventure, went on to Sudan, Syria, and Pakistan. In war-ridden Afghanistan and Iraq she carved out a fledgling career as a television reporter. And then, in August 2008, she traveled to Somalia—“the most dangerous place on earth.” On her fourth day, she was abducted by a group of masked men along a dusty road.

Held hostage for 460 days, Amanda survives on memory—every lush detail of the world she experienced in her life before captivity—and on strategy, fortitude, and hope. When she is most desperate, she visits a house in the sky, high above the woman kept in chains, in the dark.

Vivid and suspenseful, as artfully written as the finest novel, A House in the Sky is “a searingly unsentimental account. Ultimately it is compassion—for her naïve younger self, for her kidnappers—that becomes the key to Lindhout’s survival” (O, The Oprah Magazine).

Did I cry? yes. Will you cry too? yes. Do I still recommend it? absolutely.

Can't even begin to comprehend how she was able to survive mentally. I think this story opened up new ideas in my mind about the human brain and resilience itself. So many powerful moments in this book. I was recommended by a friend and I continue to recommend it to others.

Incredible true story about resilience

I cannot deny, this book was a pretty scary read with graphic and disturbing content. As a woman who likes to travel, I learned a lot and can empathize with Amanda's story. The story also leaves me with a lot of questions about white privilege, politics, international affairs, and feminism, challenging my current views of the western world.

The book delivers in presenting Amanda's story of being a hostage in southern Somalia for 460 days, but I was surprised by how much background the book provides as well. Readers learn about Amanda's life from young childhood to present day, which does give helpful and interesting context to her experiences in Somalia. Definitely interested in reading Nigel Brennan's book Price of Life, as I am sure he has a different perspective than Amanda.

the story was absolutely captivating. how anyone could keep hope up during this type of pain and loneliness is unbelievable. I would have liked more of an update on how Amanda was doing a couple of years after being home and did she ever contact Nigel or him her.

Amanda shouldn't have gone to Somalia, but she paid for it dearly. her suffering and torture was really hard to hear about but I was so amazed by how she used her mind to get through it. thank you for sharing your story with us Amanda!

Amanda’s story is unfathomable, heartbreaking, and enrapturing. I found myself consumed with her story, waiting on every moment, praying for her, and feeling as though I was a silent bystander in her many rooms willing her to be free.
I HIGHLY recommend reading/listening to this book, it will touch your heart deeply.

Heartbreakingly beautiful

Beautifully written! I was there with Amanda as she told me her story, I couldn’t walk away from this book. I was humbled over and over again by Amanda’s spirit, true grit. I will follow her foundation with hopes to make a small impact on the world in my own way someday.
Born and raised in central Alberta myself, I’m incredibly proud to share the earth with an incredible soul like Amanda.

Left me wanting to be a better person

Incredible Book

This is an extremely well written story of 15 months of captivity and torture of two young travellers at the hands of Islamic extremists and demented individuals. I high recommend it as a story of endurance, survival, hope and in the end, Love. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to know the unvarnished truth about how some people act in the most evil ways and excuse it through religion and others who overcome it all through the strength of their inner character and determination to survive.

Harrowing true story of survival and courage
