Great story to challenge traditional gender roles especially in a country in which gender roles do not have the option to be challenged

This story is set in Afghanistan that is controller by the Taliban. In the book, we follow Parvana who disguises herself as a boy to support her family after her father was put into prison.

Mehso-so

I enjoyed the first few chapters of this collection of short stories loosely linked by the character of the book‘s title. From about halfway, the book feels like it‘s lost its way a bit - which in a way reflects the loss of a way of life due to “progress”, but always makes for a less interesting read.

Meanwhile, the feminist in me is grateful she doesn‘t live in a culture that doesn‘t treat women as chattels.

Thank you for the tag @TheSpineView

I had to look up books for this on Google because I didn‘t know and this book is one of the books that came up. I didn‘t know that there were middle grade about 9/11. When 9/11 happened, I was 11 years old and in 6th grade. My older brother and I still went to school that day. My mom didn‘t pull us out of school. My mom said that a lot of parents pulled their kids out of school that day.
