Viac o knihe

A riveting real-life story of a young couple risking everything for love, this powerful narrative sheds light on women's rights in the Muslim world. Zakia and Ali, from different tribes, grew up on neighboring farms in Afghanistan. As teenagers, they fell in love, defying their families, sectarian differences, and cultural conventions. They ran away together, facing constant threats from Zakia's vengeful family, who vowed to kill her to restore their honor. Despite a decade of American efforts, Afghan women still endure severe human rights violations. Rod Nordland, then the Kabul bureau chief of the New York Times, witnessed these abuses and chronicled Zakia and Ali's plight while helping them navigate danger. This story will do for women's rights what Malala's journey did for women's education, illustrating self-determination and love's true meaning. It highlights the limits of Western influence on fundamentalist Islamic culture while emphasizing the urgent need for change.
