Özet

Afghan-American Nadia Hashimi's literary debut novel is a searing tale of powerlessness, fate, and the freedom to control one's own fate that combines the cultural flavor and emotional resonance of the works of Khaled Hosseini, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Lisa See.

In Kabul, 2007, with a drug-addicted father and no brothers, Rahima and her sisters can only sporadically attend school, and can rarely leave the house. Their only hope lies in the ancient custom of bacha posh, which allows young Rahima to dress and be treated as a boy until she is of marriageable age. As a son, she can attend school, go to the market, and chaperone her older sisters.

But Rahima is not the first in her family to adopt this unusual custom. A century earlier, her great-great grandmother, Shekiba, left orphaned by an epidemic, saved herself and built a new life the same way.

Crisscrossing in time, The Pearl the Broke Its Shell interweaves the tales of these two women separated by a century who share similar destinies. But what will happen once Rahima is of marriageable age? Will Shekiba always live as a man? And if Rahima cannot adapt to life as a bride, how will she survive?

This book was sad but really engaging. I loved the aunt; she was such a strong, steady presence for her nieces. The mother’s grief was hard to read, and some of the losses were honestly heartbreaking. It’s a powerful story about two Afghan women fighting for their place in the world. I liked Rahima’s brave ending, and Shekiba’s too, though I kind of wish she’d gotten her father’s land. Overall, an emotional and memorable read.

Saying I enjoyed this story feels wrong since it isn't often a happy one. But interesting, well written and it had me gripped. I would recommend.
