“El pan de la guerra“ cuenta la historia de parvana, una niña afgana de 11 años que vive en kabul bajo el régimen talibán. Su padre sin un trabajo. Parvana decide disfrazarse de niño para poder trabajar.
En general el libro me gustó, trata temas muy complejos pero muy interesantes como la fuerza y la resiliencia de las mujeres
Recomiendo este libro para jóvenes pues destaca la importancia de la paz y los derechos humanos.

Every single title that I've read by Nadia Hashimi is 5 star. They make me ponder long after the last page about the world around me and the privileges I forget to notice every day. I complain about gender equality while others just don't want to be considered property or be the 3rd, 4th, or 5th wife whose sole purpose is to bear male children. Let us learn from one another, let us never forget that it could and is worse for so many others.

#CoverStories Day 31: #Prison - Zeba was detained (but more like imprisoned) for the murder of her husband, and awaiting a conviction. All the other incarcerated women committed the crime of fighting back against abusive husbands or family members or accused of having sex outside of marriage – called zina or crimes of immorality – even just a mere suspicion is enough to dishonor a woman and her family.

Amir and his father fled Afghanistan after the Russian invasion. Behind, they leave a comfortable life...and Hassan, the son of one of their servants. Amir and him were best friends, almost like brothers, despite Amir's frequent jealousy. One day their lives get shattered and both will have to learn how to live with what happened. Years later Amir receives a call and will have to decide if he can go back and find redemption.

nanuska_153 The setting, Afghanistan in 1970, is very interesting and the author's writing is immersive. The story is both heartbreaking and beautiful. I think I cried for about 2/3 of the book. Trigger warnings: sexual violence and child abuse. 3mo

The roar of gunfire and the acrid scent of burning sand filled the air as Staff Sergeant Ryan “Hawk” Hawkins crouched behind a crumbling stone wall, his rifle locked and loaded. Beside him, a lean, scarred Belgian Malinois named Trinity stood tense, ears pricked, waiting for the signal. The dog had been his partner through two deployments, her keen instincts and unwavering loyalty saving his life more times than he could count.

I highly recommend this book. It is more a bio of one mans career as a Navy SEAL. Through all its stages. A career that included the killing of Osama Bin Laden. Absent is the self-righteous patriotism that can be prevalent today. He approaches his story as a professional. Just telling his story without trying to drive home a political opinion. An inspiring story and a look into the real world of the Navy SEALs.

It felt right to go back to this series. Kathy Reichs doesn't disappoint. A human smuggling ring with twists I didn't see coming. My first #ISpyBingo for February @TheAromaofBooks #SeriesLove25 #Read2025 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView @DieAReader

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! 4mo
