BROKEN CHAINS 5 STARS -REVIEW Barbara Rodrigues There were several occasions that I had to put the book down and regroup because the writing is so real and intense.

In itself this book can be used as a very resourceful hind-site for all victims of abuse. 5 STARS REVIEW LISA BINION If you’ve been a victim of abuse, psychological and/or physical, this book could be painful for you to read, but the hope that it gives should override that. This book shows how to break those chains. This book not only shows those who need it that escape from an abusive spouse is possible even when it doesn’t seem to be, it also acquaints you with different cultures and religious beliefs. |
A HELL FOR ALL SEASONS
5 STARS REVIEW-Lisa Binion
This is a fantastic collection of short stories. Each one is horrific in its own way.
From demons and the occult to curiosity and hypocrisy, the way one wrong turn can completely
change a life is subtly and chillingly demonstrated. The way you look at things, including dreams, and the way
you think is liable to be changed. Great job, Emiliya Ahmadova.
5 STARS REVIEW-Kitty Muse Book Reviews
Ms. Ahmadova has done a terrific job of relating small but very meaningful stories.
Every one of them is a frightening world unto itself, and all of them are very worth
reading.Highly recommended for aficionados of short horror stories.

I really liked this book. It was interesting, and I couldn't wait to find out how it was going to end.
5 STARS REVIEW-Brian D. Harvey
Although the author of this povest' is from Azerbaijan, at its core this tale
(entitled "A Glimpse of the Future") betrays a fascination with spirituality and religion
as an intricate aspect of the Slavic soul, with its focus often on the supernatural,
the occult, and the paranormal.

MY TWIN SISTER AND ME
5 STARS REVIEW-Lazann
It is a wonderful story about twin sisters and the antics they get into. It definitely would appeal to any parent with twins or involved in the scouts. An extra plus is the storyline deals with bullying which is a big social issue at this age.
5 STARS REVIEW-Staub Zu Staub
In each chapter, you can find instructive stories, examples of how a teenager learns to fight with her weaknesses, overcome peer pressure, make the right choice in difficult situations. During reading, you constantly catch yourself thinking that you are experiencing real pleasure, and you want the narrative not to end.
5 STARS REVIEW- Brian D. Harvey
Just under 200 pages in reasonably large font for easy reading, Ahmadova's engaging narrative includes not just an educative peek into the merits of scouting as a worthwhile youth pursuit, but also important lessons in the values of family and faith for a younger generation within a global context
5 STARS REVIEW- Divine Zape for Readers’ Favorite
Broken Chains by Emiliya Ahmadova is a touching story that will appeal to a wide audience because of the sensitive, not-so-often discussed questions it raises. In the heart of this story is the important question: What does it take to live with a deep sense of inner freedom? The author opens her narrative with a fortuitous encounter between the parents of the protagonist and moves on to show how this encounter leads to a brief affair that culminates in an unwanted pregnancy. Esmira, the mother of the protagonist, raises her daughter alone, under difficult conditions. Now an adult, Silvana has to face the challenges of growing up and the horrors of abusive relationships. How she deals with her abusive Christian partner is what will blow readers' minds. This is a page-turning tale of one woman’s struggle to avoid the same fate that befell her mother, a story of suffering, inhumanity, and redemption.
Emiliya Ahmadova’s Broken Chains is a powerful work in the area of protest literature, a tale that gives voice to the voiceless people who suffer in any form of relationship. In Silvana, Ahmadova develops an icon of protest against the numerous forms of injustices orchestrated against women. The author writes confidently about issues in a wide selection of themes, including religion, interracial, and inter-religious marriage, the primacy of human dignity, the primary right to freedom and happiness, and a lot more. Silvana is a compelling and well-developed character who will not only interest readers, but will be a powerful example of a warrior for freedom and human rights.

5 STARS REVIEW-Staub Zu Staub'
A few month ago I have translated Broken Chains into Russian language. I must say Broken Chains is a fascinating novel, the primary merits and strengths of Broken Chains are its sincerity and originality. The author is a woman who was raised in a Muslim multinational setting, thereby becoming acquainted with the customs, traditions, and peculiarities of life in different countries and even different continents. In addition, she has had the unique opportunity to communicate with a wide spectrum of people from varying cultural backgrounds and outlooks on life. All this has culminated in her relating in fictional form (throughout riveting pages) her multifaceted life experiences and a wealth of knowledge. In her novel the story line seems so natural, including engaging dialogue. Ahmadova describes her characters so vividly and clearly that readers will not view them as uniform and unipolar. Each elicits sympathy or antipathy in a natural manner. Before encountering the protagonist, readers will learn the dramatic story of her mother's life, followed by that of her grandmother. Such an opening permits readers not only to trace the relationships among generations, but also to assess the influence of parental conduct on the lives of the descendants. Nonetheless, the chain of "hereditary damage" is derailed by the protagonist's faith and hope in God in reaching out for salvation. The main character, Silvana, finds inner strength to change the trajectory of her life and, in turn, transforms the lives of many around her suffering alone and in silence, also feeling shackled and chained down by paralyzing fear and hopeless despair enveloping their human condition. In this way, Silvana becomes a role model for all of them, living proof that fundamental human happiness is in their own hands and can make all the difference, together with not only hard work and an unceasingly and unquestionable faith in God, but also an insatiable desire to make a difference on this earth.
Amy's Bookshelf Reviews
or an author whose first language is not English, this book is pretty well-written. There are a few stumbles but nothing that cannot be overlooked, as the story is pretty intense. It is a story about generational abuse, and it is as sad and painful as it sounds, but the story is compelling. It also brings out a light that shows there is hope even when the life being led is dismal. A heart breathtakingly inspirational subject that is more true than fiction.
