This is one of those quietly powerful books. It starts simply enough and then the author begins to reveal all that can and does happen to Afghan women (and men who don't "toe the line" or who stand up for a woman's rights). The horrorible things that are so matter of factly stated are just breath-taking. As a free woman in a free country, it is hard to imagine, but this book opens your eyes to the reality of what IS happening in that country (and others). Highly recommend this book for both women and men- never will your eyes be blinded to such again.
