The pearl that broke its shell

Product details

This novel by the Afghan-American author Nadia Hashmi recounts a poignant story of helplessness confronting fate, where tradition holds sway over destinies, and within its folds emanates the essence of a war-torn people's culture and a tender emotion that seems to echo through the Afghan mountains. Nadia Hashmi writes: "First and foremost, it is the story of a tender and remarkable family. Its captivating narrative, spanning multiple generations, is a portrait of Afghanistan in all its mysterious and perplexing glory, and a mirror reflecting the ongoing struggles of Afghan women." Khaled Hosseini: "Author of The Kite Runner."
