I once stole something. On purpose. In my adult years. A €2.00 novelty pin. I was in Paris feeling vacation bliss and I couldn't find the owner of the outdoor booth. So I took it. I then promptly felt like I was gong to be sick and ran, literally ran, away sweating. I was convinced for the rest of the trip, that I would be caught and thrown into foreign jail. So maybe it was my dark criminal past that made me feel tense reading this memoir, but my innocent, law-abiding mother read it and felt the same way, so I blame Kerman's truthful story-telling! I could not put this book down. Well written and truly eye opening. Read it with a friend, because there are many lively discussions to be had.
