Parvana's Journey is the gritty, realistic story of a young girl living in Afghanistan under the rule of the Taliban. Sequel to the Bread Winner, it follows her this time as she treks across unrelenting desert and sand and attempts to avoid the minefields strewn everywhere, but most of all she fears capture by the Taliban. A moving and riveting story, which although a great novel should also remind you of some of the things happening around the world.
