Behind the Burqa: Our Life in Afghanistan and How We Escaped to Freedom by Batya Swift Yasgur

3.0

The book is much more the author’s story than Sulima or Hala’s.

It’s like these women were interviewed by someone constantly saying “yeah yeah but get to the punchline”. It’s a shame because I would have loved to actually hear these two incredible womens’ stories from start to finish, untarnished and unedited.
