The pearl that broke its shell

Afghanistan, 2007. Rahima and her sisters have a drug-addicted father, no brothers, only occasional schooling and rarely leave the house. Their only hope is the ancient tradition of "bacha posh", which allows Rahima to dress like a boy and behave like one - until she reaches marriageable age. As a "son" she is allowed to go everywhere and accompany her older sisters. But what happens when Rahima grows up? How long will she remain a "man"? And will she be able to accept her role as a bride? The debut novel by Nadia Hashemi, an Afghan-American woman, is a story of hard fate, powerlessness and the right to control one's life.
