The title of the book, Glin, is adapted from the name of a village near Sanandaj, which since 1981 has witnessed bitter and bloody incidents that represent a part of the history of the Kurdistan people’s bravery. Glin, the Bride in Red includes the oral memories of the people of this village and the author’s daily notes at the time of collect-ing information to write the book. The story begins at a passenger terminal in Tehran, up to the arrival of the writer and his friend at the Sanandaj Shahid Foundation. The Glin story begins in the fifth chapter which opens with the biography of the martyr Fatemeh Asadi, the wife of Bagherabad Village’s well digger. In the winter of 1981, after counter-revolutionary insurgents captured her husband, she was martyred during the search for her man and her baby died due to sepa-ration. In that year, 40 men of the village were captured by counter-revolutionary groups and after being convict-ed of collaborating with the government and betraying the Kurd people, they were exhibited in nearby villages as a warning to others. The focus of the story is on Fatrezamin Village where the torture of hostages begins. Now, the story is told from the perspective of Nasrollah Rasoli, one of the Fatrezamin Village survivors.
