## Description

The Pearl That Broke Its Shell: An Emotional Novel of Two Women's Stories Intertwined by Time and Tradition in Afghanistan : Hashimi, Nadia: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Harsh Story of Afghan women past and present - It is a fantastic read which grabs you and draws you into the horrors which awaited women in Afghanistan for points in time. Unique insight into the lives of 2 women in Afghanistan. Very Brutal and heartbreaking at times. I assume the story is based somewhat on Reality, which, if true, is disturbing to realise.
Review: A real insight - Thank you Nadia for your expression of love for these women and for all the Afghan women they represent. A book worth reading
