Starvation or survival - a girl's life under Taliban rule A compelling and engrossing story about a girl living in war-torn Afghanistan under Taliban rule.

Klappentext zu „The Breadwinner “
Afghanistan: Parvana's father is arrested and taken away by Taliban soldiers. Under Taliban law, women and girls are not allowed to leave the house on their own. Parvana, her mother, and sisters are prisoners in their own home. With no man to go out to buy food, they face starvation. So Parvana must pretend to be a boy to save her family. It is a dangerous plan, but their only chance. In fear, she goes out - and witnesses the horror of landmines, the brutality of the Taliban, and the desperation of a country trying to survive. But even in despair lies hope . . . Deborah Ellis has been to Afghan refugee camps and has listened to many stories like Parvana's.

Rezension zu „The Breadwinner “
It answers the question; <"What's it like to be an Afghan child?>" It makes it clear that Afghans aren't the enemy, that children all over the world hate helping with the washing up, whether they are starving or not. It allows children to draw their own conclusions about why we are fighting. Most importantly, it humanises the war ... it deserves to become a bestseller ... The Daily Telegraph very remarkable and highly topical. The horrors of life under the Taliban are balanced by loyalty, courage and hope. Read it. Independent on Sunday
