Nadia, Our church book group met this week to discuss The Pearl that Broke Its Shell. We all loved the characters, story line and learning about the culture. We too would like to know what happens to Rahima and hope for a sequel. One of our members was very worried about Badriya, Abdul Kahliq's first wife, and what might have happened to her when she returned home from Kabul without Rahima. Can you answer?

I don't have any questions after reading this fabulous book. Just commenting here to let you know that this book has resonated with me in a way words can't explain? Thank you for writing this Nadia. I hope to become a writer one day and write a story as tragically beautiful as this.

Fantastic, bravo! In my admittedly stereotypical viewpoint, I expected to read how terrible men are towards women in this culture but sadly, I am taken aback by the women themselves who are just horrendous toward one another; mother-in-laws, sister-in-laws, such lack of grace and kindness; I am haunted by these injustices and the profound absence of sisterhood. Why such a lack of humaneness toward fellow women?
