These twelve short stories dive deep into imaginary worlds where everyday life is marked and marred by war. They speak of wounded love, captured women, confinement, talismans, borders, wolves. They give expression to the voices of Afghan women who would like to change the fate of people like Nâzboo, Khorshid, Hamid and so many others.
Originally published by Éditions Le Soupirail in 2019, this collection was the first volume of short stories by Afghan women to appear in France. This edition from Inanna Publications brings these stories—and their unique perspectives—to English-speaking listeners for the first time. The collection includes stories by Wasima Badghisi, Batool Haidari, Alia Ataee, Sedighe Kazemi, Khaleda Khorsand, Masouma Kawsari, Mariam Mahboob, Toorpekai Qayum, Manizha Bakhtari, Homeira Qaderi, Parween Pazhwak and Homayra Rafat.

“When you finish Under a Kabul Sky, you're haunted by the spellbinding sound of the wounded voices of these Afghan women.” — Guillaume Richez, Les Imposteurs
“For Western readers, this is an alien world, one that seems conjured by a febrile imagination. But the tragedy is that this is the reality for millions of innocent people caught in the crossfire. For many, it comes down to a choice between a life of crushing subjugation or the humiliation and helplessness that comes with refugee status, and the years-long ordeal of waiting for some other country to take you in. Under a Kabul Sky: Short Fiction by Afghan Women provides a vivid and terrifying glimpse into this reality, one that readers are not likely to forget anytime soon.” — The Miramichi Reader
