I'm always intrigued with foreign cultures and want to thank Zia Rehman for shining a light on Gullali, the unlikely heroine of women's rights in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Reading how quickly a society can change is frightening but not more so than actually experiencing it. The book is a bit choppy but the details are exquisite and heartbreaking and remind us all that it takes is one voice to sound the alarm and make a change for better. No matter what your religion, you will see the everyday villagers in a new and more humane light than the terrifying daily news of zealots.
