Description du produit

The Dressmaker of Khair Khana gives voice to many of our world's unsung heroines. Against all odds, these young women created hope and community, and they never gave up. This book is guaranteed to move you and to show you a side of Afghanistan few ever see. --Angelina Jolie

An inspiring story of courageous community building. The product of several years of in-depth interviewing, [Lemmon] pays scrupulous attention to detail... [and] convincingly evokes the atmosphere of Taliban-era Kabul. -- Kirkus Reviews

Books on Afghanistan usually fall into one of two categories: policy oriented polemics, or simple tales about do-gooders. Rarely has an author been so successful in turning on-the-ground reportage into a dramatic and yet deeply informative story. The Dressmaker of Khair Khana reads like great fiction and yet it is all true; this book will grab you from the first sentence and take you on an amazing journey that crosses many borders: cultural, geographical, intellectual and, most importantly, emotional. It is a must read. --Mohamed El-Erian, author of When Markets Collide
