Heartbreak, anger, despair, admiration, fear, and some more anger are some of the feelings this book made me feel.
I can not fathom the courage and willpower that the women of Adganistan have, even to keep on living day after day let alone defy the worst face of patriarchy that ruled and still rules their country. I stand with the women of Afghanistan that see their dreams and hopes and dignity crushed once more, and I really hope that they will manage to live and leave this patriarchal hell behind.
I would love to read more stories by Dr Qaderi and other Afghani women. Happy, beautiful stories, with no fear and no tears.

*The book itself is beautifully written, informative and emotional in equal measure.
