A riveting, real-life equivalent of The Kite Runnerâ??an astonishingly powerful and profoundly moving story of a young couple willing to risk everything for love that puts a human face on the ongoing debate about women's rights in the Muslim world.
Zakia and Ali were from different tribes, but they grew up on neighboring farms in the hinterlands of Afghanistan. By the time they were young teenagers, Zakia, strikingly beautiful and fiercely opinionated, and Ali, shy and tender, had fallen in love. Defying their families, sectarian differences, cultural conventions, and Afghan civil and Islamic law, they ran away together only to live under constant threat from Zakia's large and vengeful family, who have vowed to kill her to restore the family's honor. They are still in hiding.
Despite a decade of American good intentions, women in Afghanistan are still subjected to some of the worst human rights violations in the world.

It was a cold, clear February day when we finished our first visit to see Afghanistan's most famous young lovers and went out to what passes for an airport in Bamiyan town -- a broad cinder runway with a fine view of the cliff niches that once held the Great Buddhas. (Prologue)
Her name was Zakia. Shortly before midnight on the freezing-cold eve of the Persian New Year of 1393 she lay fully clothed on her thin mattress on the concrete floor and considered what she was about to do.

There were eight daughters and no sons in the family, which was the heart of Mr. Masoomi's problem, said Ms. Sepehr. Not only did that mean he had no sons to defend the house when the other villagers rampaged in response to their suspicions about his daughter, but it also meant that in the eyes of his fellow Afghans he was somehow deficient as the sire of mere females.
