My Forbidden Face
4 journalers for this copy...
"A poignant story of a young woman's life under the Taliban... With painful honesty and clarity, Latifa describes the way her world fell apart in the name of a fanatical interpretation of a faith. Her story goes to the heart of a people caught up in a terrible tragedy in a brutalised country. But Latifa is determined to survive -and live in freedom and hope."
I found this book (real bookcrossing!! someone forgot it in the apartment where I came to stay in Majorca :) last summer and read it in barely 2 or 3 days (oh, it looks so looooong ago now... the beach, the sun, the sea... how i miss it -snif, snif).
Very interesting witness of the Taliban regime.

This book was just as wonderful and moving as I remembered. A real insight into life under the Taliban.
I have posted the book to Firegirl as part of a "surprise" trade. Hope you like it!

Recieved in a blind exchange from Felicia-Fairy! She picked a great one to send - I'm very excited about reading it. Will update this entry once I have.

Wow. I rarely read a book in a day as I just don't ever have that much time, but I found the time for this one. I simply could not put it down. An excellent read.
