[Nicola Radley-king]

An insightful and thought-provoking read that opened my eyes to the trauma of living under taliban rule as a woman. It gave me a deeper understanding of the challenges refugees face when leaving their homeland and settling in a new country. Moving, enlightening and full of humanity.

[Tansy Hepton]

For once the comments on the back of this book are completely accurate "harrowing and compelling", "fascinatingly detailed and fiercely brave".
I had to keep putting it down to give myself a break, but was compelled to keep on reading. Such an important book, standing witness to what is going on.

I was really excited to read this but in the end had to force myself to sit down and finish it. Even with me giving it a bonus star for otherwise unheard voices I can’t recommend.

[Louise]

This book pulled at the heartstrings, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. It is so hard to imagine what these women must have been through.
The Afghan women are forgotten!

[Amber Meller]

A must read to understand Afghanistan today

[Emily Ruddick]

Interesting, but just not what I expected. Felt a bit out of order and more of diary style than WhatsApp dialogue. Made it a hard read.

[Sarah Tyler]

An eye opening glimpse into the lives of Afghan women. A compelling and moving read

[Ramsha Sohail]

Sad and devastating

[Lin Tarrant]

Such brave women and beautiful writing.
