Khalili Sara - Tali Girls A Novel Of Afghanistan - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Siamak Herawi brings Afghan women centerstage and takes us deep into the heart of his motherland to witness the reality of their lives under the Taliban's most extreme interpretation of Islam. Based on true stories the result is a sobering and harrowing tale that relates the current ethos of a country under occupation by one power or another for more than half a century. Told in a direct conversational prose this chorus of voices offers us a vivid picture of the endless cycle of the suffering of girls and women in the grip of the Taliban authorities of the imbalance of power and opportunity. The central figures illuminate the power of love friendship and generosity in the face of poverty and oppression. Their experiences and dilemmas have a visceral power and we become deeply attached to Kowsar Geesu and Simin. These are testaments of resilience hope courage and visceral fear of doors of opportunity opening just a crack that offer a way out. In Sara Khalili's vibrant and nuanced translation from the Persian Tali Girls tears down the curtain and exposes the treacherous realities of what women are up against in modern - day war - torn Afghanistan.
