The Pearl that Broke its Shell by Nadia Hashimi
Description : 11 Jul, 2023
The Pearl that Broke its Shell by Nadia Hashimi 2014 452pg. Softcover Kabul, 2007: The Taliban rules the streets. With a drug-addicted father and no brothers, Rahima and her sisters can rarely leave the house or attend school. Their only hope lies in the ancient Afghan custom of bacha posh, which allows young Rahima to dress and be treated as a son until she is marriageable age. As a boy, she has unimaginable freedom…which will transform her forever. But Rahima is not the first of her fami9ly to adopt this usual custom. A century earlier, her great-grandmother Shekiba saved herself and built a new life in the same way-the change took her on a journey from the deprivation of life in a rural village to the opulence of a king’s palace in Kabul. Crisscrossing in time, The Pearl That Broke Its Shell interweaved the stories of these two remarkable woman, who are separated by a century but share the same courage. Can they go back to living without freedom? And if not, how will they survive?
