Imagine having to wear clothes that cover every part of your body, including your face, whenever you go out. Imagine living in a country in which women and girls are not allowed to leave the house without a man. Parvana was about to squish her eyes shut and wait to be shot when she saw that the Talib had taken out a letter. Keeping his eyes on Parvana, he drew something out of his vest pocket. A rifle was slung across his chest as casually as her father's shoulder bag had been slung across hers. Turning her head, she saw the dark turban that was the uniform of the Taliban. 1 DEBORAH ELLIS The Breadwinner PARVANA felt the shadow before she saw it, as the man moved between her and the sun.
