Thank you Nadia for writing When the Moon is Low which I loved reading albeit with such sadness in my heart for the plight of refugee families seeking a safe haven. Will there be a continuation of these characters in another context?
Nadia Hashimi
Hi Helen, Thanks for taking the time to read and write. I get this question a lot and it means you cared about my characters. I have no plans to pick up this story and continue at this moment but I won't say never. I put Saleem and his family through so much already, I find it hard to imagine putting them through much more. Of course, there is more to their story, just as there is more to any of our stories. For now, I'll leave it to the readers to imagine how the next chapter might unfold. Wish you good reads always.

Salaam Nadia! Shab bakhair! I just finished reading "The Pearl That Broke Its Shell", and can't tell how many emotions I've gone thru' in last 2 weeks reading it page by page, chapter by chapter. How beautifully you've weaved together this story of Bibi Shekiba & Rahima-jan's fears, challenges, struggles and injustice with their fate, hopes and dreams. So grateful & thank you for inspiring. What inspired you to write?

I wish the book would have ended with some factual information about women's progress in Afghanistan to-date. A mention of perhaps a trustworthy organization that helps with women's rights there would have been great. The comment on the 9-11 attacks was mentally provoking. Would you consider a 2nd book I touching on the Afghanistan's view of America, Americans, and our involvement in the war?
