The Broken Circle: A Memoir of Escaping Afghanistan by Enjeela Ahmadi-Miller

4.0

I enjoyed this book by a woman from Afghanistan who escaped with her family in the 80s when the Soviets tried to take over. People who want to bash immigrants who try to leave their country illegally should read books like this, because there was no way this family was leaving without somebody getting killed. They spent months trying to escape through the rural countryside. Her family was wealthy, and they fared better than most Afghans in that time period. She had some interesting observations on comparing her progressive upbringing in Kabul with how poor Afghans lived in the countryside and their oppression of women. She has an interesting story.
