Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:A vivid, spellbinding story of murder, survival, sisterhood, and a mother s love that illuminates the plight of women in a traditional culture from the author of the bestseller The Pearl That Broke Its Shell.
For most of her life Zeba has lived quietly in an Afghan village, a loyal wife and loving mother. But on one horrific day, her family s world is shattered when her husband, Kamal, is found brutally murdered with a hatchet in the courtyard of their home. Covered in Kamal s blood and catatonic with shock, Zeba refuses to explain what happened. Barely escaping a vengeful mob, she is sent to Kabul s Chil Mahtab, a women s prison.
As Zeba awaits trial, she befriends other women whose own misfortunes have led them to these bleak cells: Nafisa, imprisoned to protect her from an honor killing; Latifa, a runaway who stays in the jail because it is a safe haven; and Mezhgan, pregnant and unmarried, jailed for zina, or love crimes. The women whisper among themselves: Is Zeba really a cold-blooded killer? Has she truly inherited her mother s powers of jadu witchcraft which can bend fate to her will? Can she save herself? Or them?
Into this closed world comes Yusuf, Zeba s Afghan-born, American-raised lawyer, whose desire to help his homeland has 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 and often surprising look at the lives of modern Afghan women, A House Without Windows is astonishing, unforgettable, and triumphant.
