Cr�ticas:

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)

Rese�a del editor:

Latifa was born into an educated middle-class Afghan family in Kabul in 1980. She dreamed of one day becoming a journalist and was interested in fashion, movies and friends. Then in September 1996, Taliban soldiers seized power in Kabul. Her school was closed and from that moment she became a prisoner in her own home at just 16. Latifa was now forced to wear a chadri.

With painful honesty and clarity Latifa describes the way she watched her world falling apart, in the name of a fanatical interpretation of a faith that she could not comprehend. Her voice captures a lost innocence, but also echoes her determination to live in freedom and hope.

Earlier this year, Latifa and her parents escaped Afghanistan with the help of a French-based Afghan resistance group.
