A Sliver of Light
2014 memoir by Shane Bauer
A Sliver of Light: Three Americans Imprisoned in Iran is a 2014 memoir by Shane Bauer, Joshua Fattal, and Sarah Shourd, published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt/Eamon Dolan. It discusses the 2009–11 detention of American hikers by Iran.
The book uses the first-person narrative and switches between the points of view of Bauer, Fattal, and Shourd.[1] The book ends with the authors, after their release, adjusting to the free world and discussing the Guantanamo Bay detention center, Israel, and regime change.[2]
Publishers Weekly stated that the book has "Moments of humor and insight" and that the "voices" of the co-authors "remain oddly similar".[1]
