From bestselling novelist Nadia Hashimi--a gripping, occasionally terrifying, yet ultimately hopeful novel focusing on the women of Afghanistan in the years since the Taliban regained power.
In February 2020 the US began to withdraw troops from Afghanistan after nearly twenty years of occupation. A whole generation of Afghan women had been born during that time--women who had grown up in relative peace, gone to school, entered the professions, even served in the army and Parliament. The women of Afghanistan watched as the Taliban filled the streets again. They knew everything was about to change.
In the bustling, cosmopolitan city of Kabul, women are TV newscasters, shop owners, doctors, teachers, lawyers, even soldiers. They include Marjan, who fought with the Afghan army, and will risk everything to keep her daughter Hawa safe. In her earlier days Marjan was called Rahima and had lived the life of a bacha posh--a girl raised as a boy until she came of age. Forced into an early marriage, Rahima took the name Marjan when she fled her warlord husband. She's created a whole new life for herself, one she will not give up easily.
So has Soraya, who defiantly wore red lipstick as she led the army's all-female combat force over the objections of her upper-class family. Soraya's now a wanted woman whose brother may choose not to shelter her from the Taliban. What will become of her? Or Mina, a journalist and broadcaster whose beautiful face is known to everyone in Kabul--including the new regime?
Fight or flight? Or find a third way? One thing is for certain: none of these women will meekly accept her fate.
An epic saga of fear, resistance, change, and reinvention, City of Widows gives voices to the unforgettable Afghan women at a crossroads of history.
"An essential read...heartbreaking, powerful, and indelible." -- Booklist (starred review)
Hashimi, Nadia
NADIA HASHIMI nasceu em Nova York, nos Estados Unidos. Seus pais deixaram o Afeganistão nos anos 1970, antes da invasão soviética, mas ela cresceu cercada por uma família numerosa, que manteve a cultura afegã como parte importante do cotidiano. Em 2003, visitou o Afeganistão pela primeira vez com os pais, e o passado e o interesse pela cultura e pela realidade das mulheres afegãs a motivaram a escrever histórias ligadas ao país, que já foram traduzidas para 17 idiomas.Nadia é pediatra e mora nos arredores de Washington com o marido, quatro filhos curiosos, o cachorro mais faminto do mundo e um papagaio-cinzento que sempre lembra as crianças de escovarem os dentes. Pela Arqueiro, publicou também A pérola que rompeu a concha. |
