A review by thecuriosityhourpodcast
Behind the Burqa: Our Life in Afghanistan and How We Escaped to Freedom by Sulima and Hala, Batya Swift Yasgur

4.0

This was an especially difficult book to read, and it rounds out my literary tour of Afghanistan. This is the true account of two sisters, separated by 16 years and countless cultural circumstances. They tell their stories of fear, intimidation, and oppression, as well as their journey's to America.

A definite must-read.
