Publisher's summary

In this stunning sequel to The Breadwinner Trilogy, Parvana, now 15-years-old, is found in a bombed-out school and held as a suspected terrorist by American troops in Afghanistan.

The girl does not respond to questions in any language and remains silent, even when she is threatened, harassed, and mistreated over several days. The only clue to her identity is a tattered shoulder bag containing papers that refer to people named Shauzia, Nooria, Leila, Asif, Hassan - and Parvana. As she waits for foreign military forces to determine her fate, she remembers the past four years of her life. Reunited with her mother and sisters, she has been living in a village where her mother managed to open a school for girls. But when local men threaten the school, she must draw on every ounce of bravery she possesses to survive the disaster that kills her mother and destroys the school. Ellis' final novel in the series is harrowing, inspiring, and thought-provoking.

This woman helped start the war she is complaining about

1 she writes like a rich white woman, everyone talks like a rich white woman. The marines and afghans talk with the cadence and grammar of a rich white lady.

2 her first book “breadwinner” was a racist screed that helped sell America’s 20 year disaster in Afghanistan to the American people!

3 a better author would point out how americas military, the privates that do the fighting, come from places like the mountains of Afghanistan. Like the mountains of Afghanistan east saint louis, Detroit, the south side of Chicago, New Orleans, Appalachia and the American rust belt experience poverty and violence similar to the material conditions of rural Afghanistan. Instead she made the us military a bunch of classist caricatures. She’s just as condescending to pour Americans as she is to pour afghans!
