review: Editorial Reviews Review Her descriptions of watching videos in secret, listening to the radio in terror lest she be caught and hovering on the edge of a black hole of depression during what should have been the liveliest years of her life give a very human face to the known facts of how the most repressive government on the planet operated.― IRISH INDEPENDENT A salutary read for any Western woman, and one that makes you appreciate the freedoms we often take for granted.― GLAMOUR A poweful and poetic account of life under the Taliban.― DAILY TELEGRAPH This thoughtful and affecting account...questions the complacency of Western feminism which has forgotten the many women across the world who still have nothing.― DAILY MAIL About the Author In May 2001, Latifa & her parents escaped Afghanistan & were brought to Europe in an operation organized by a French-based Afghan resistance group & Elle Magazine. She speaks Persian and is learning English and French. Latifa is not her real name.
