  • Description
    A vivid, unforgettable story of an unlikely sisterhood-an emotionally powerful and haunting tale of friendship that illuminates the plight of women in a traditional culture-from the author of the bestselling The Pearl That Broke Its Shell and When the Moon Is Low. For two decades, Zeba was a loving wife, a patient mother, and a peaceful villager. But her quiet life is shattered when her husband, Kamal, is found brutally murdered with a hatchet in the courtyard of their home. Nearly catatonic with shock, Zeba is unable to account for her whereabouts at the time of his death. Her children swear their mother could not have committed such a heinous act. Kamal's family is sure she did, and demands justice. Barely escaping a vengeful mob, Zeba is arrested and jailed.As Zeba awaits trial, she meets a group of women whose own misfortunes have also led them to these bleak cells: thirty-year-old Nafisa, imprisoned to protect her from an honor killing; twenty-five-year-old Latifa, who ran away from home with her teenage sister but now stays in the prison because it is safe shelter; and nineteen-year-old Mezhgan, pregnant and unmarried, waiting for her lover's family to ask for her hand in marriage. Is Zeba a cold-blooded killer, these young women wonder, or has she been imprisoned, as they have been, for breaking some social rule? For these women, the prison is both a haven and a punishment. Removed from the harsh and unforgiving world outside, they form a lively and indelible sisterhood. Into this closed world comes Yusuf, Zeba's Afghan-born, American-raised lawyer, whose commitment to human rights and desire to help his motherland have brought him back. With the fate of this seemingly ordinary housewife in his hands, Yusuf discovers that, like Afghanistan itself, his client may not be at all what he imagines. A moving look at the lives of modern Afghan women, A House Without Windows is astonishing, frightening, and triumphant.

    Wonderful

    An excellent story,a film could be made on this book.The theme is vulnerable showcasing the complexity of law and mindset of Afghani women.The power of magic and concept of evil eye are craftly woven by the author.The endurance and resilience of Zeba are praiseworthy.A masterpiece penned by the writer. The power of prayer is beautifully narrated.It's an enjoyable read and thriller that is engaging for the avid readers.The book is extremely engaging,I googled Chillmehtab.Value for money

    Nice product

    The packaging was very good with proper bubble rap and all but while the quality of the pages are good the print could be better, it looks somewhat blurry although readable.

    Fair

    Haven't read the book yet. But the cover print looks cheap like a print out on a normal sheet of paper. The print inside the book looks fine. But if you are a book reader than you will be a little disappointed with the quality of the cover page print. That's all. Otherwise the book looks ok. The price is cheap so they have compromised on the print quality
