Book Description:
 
She could be the girl on the National Geographic cover. Before the
Taliban takeover, Latifa's life revolved around school, friends,
parties, and movies. Suddenly, she was confined to her apartment, unable
to venture out uncovered by the hated burka. She and her family were
spared the horrific fates of some of Kabul's residents but, in the end,
lost nearly everything but their lives. With her exotic voice and
exquisite diction, Brychta is Latifa. You won't doubt for a moment her
fear, boredom, shock, or sorrow. What comes through most clearly is her
indignation at the treatment of women and the fact that most of the
world ignored it. Her relief at escape to Pakistan, and a single drink
of fresh water, is palpable. She is safe now, in Paris, but her story,
like the eyes of the cover girl, will haunt you.
