The Breadwinner by Deborah Ellis


From the back of the book:
Imagine living in a country in which women and girls are not allowed to leave the house without a man. Imagine having to wear clothes that cover every part of your body, including your face, whenever you go out. This is life in Afghanistan, where the Taliban, members of an extreme religious group, run most of the country.









The story is continued in Parvana's Journey which won the Governor General's Literary Award.
