About this product
Product Information
Siamak Herawi brings Afghan women centerstage and takes us deep into the heart of his motherland to witness the reality of their lives under the Taliban's most extreme interpretation of Islam. Based on true stories, the result is a sobering and harrowing tale that relates the current ethos of a country under occupation by one power or another for more than half a century. Told in a direct, conversational prose, this chorus of voices offers us a vivid picture of the endless cycle of the suffering of girls and women in the grip of the Taliban authorities, of the imbalance of power and opportunity. The central figures illuminate the power of love, friendship, and generosity in the face of poverty and oppression. Their experiences and dilemmas have a visceral power and we become deeply attached to Kowsar, Geesu, and Simin. These are testaments of resilience, hope, courage, and visceral fear, of doors of opportunity opening just a crack that offer a way out.In Sara Khalili's vibrant and nu

Reviews
"There are echoes here of Miriam Toews's Women Talking . . . Herawi's first novel to be published in the U.S. has been rendered into clear, pointed prose by Sarah Khalili. He uses the pervasive rituals of household and village life to provide color and context and displays compelling empathy when he contrasts older women's anger and resignation with the girls' shock and despair upon realizing the physical and emotional imprisonment they face." - Kirkus Reviews , starred review, "There are echoes here of Miriam Toews's Women Talking . . .

Siamak Herawi has given full voice to the suffering of Afghanistan's women under Taliban rule. Oppression of this magnitude is a tragedy not only for a people, but for individuals with crushed hopes and lives--young Kowsar, Simin, Geesu. Know them, Herawi implores. The world must not turn away. The reader of this searing story can not." -- Melissa Holbrook Pierson, author of The Man Who Would Stop at Nothing and The Secret History of Kindness "Tali Girls is an electrifying book. Swift, devastating, and unforgettable." -- Justin Torres, author of We the Animals and Blackouts, "There are echoes here of Miriam Toews's Women Talking . . .

In the end, Kowsar's fate remains an open question. This is, perhaps, the kindest possible conclusion to her story." -- Eileen Gonzalez, Forward Reviews , starred review "In Siamak Herawi's Tali Girls , translated into crystalline English by Sara Khalili, we enter into an Afghanistan where women and girls earn every measure of their joy amidst lives torn asunder by a relentless conspiracy of empires. Tali Girls is an unforgettable story filled with characters I will carry with me." -- Kaveh Akbar, author of poetry collections Pilgrim Bell and Calling a Wolf a Wolf , and a novel called Martyr!, "There are echoes here of Miriam Toews's Women Talking . . .

Tali Girls is an unforgettable story filled with characters I will carry with me." -- Kaveh Akbar, author of poetry collections Pilgrim Bell and Calling a Wolf a Wolf , and a novel called Martyr! "Tali Girls is an extraordinary book: poetic in its focus on the most humble moments of life and smallest details of landscape, and utterly devastating in its depiction of bright, passionate girls being crushed by corruption and desperation in an Afghanistan that has tried to render them powerless. That they are not powerless is revealed in sometimes shocking ways (the novel is a page-turner, a horror story, a thriller, and also often very funny), but most of all by rendering inner lives that no predator, despot, or Talib, can extinguish." - Amy Waldman, author of A Door in the Earth and The Submission "Herawi paints a rich portrait of Afghan life that readers will be able to see, smell, and hear. With deft skill and sensitivity, he gives voice to modern Afghan women's oppressive, harrowing, and brutal experiences. Skillfully translated from the Persian by Sara Khalili, this heartbreaking and necessary read uplifts as these women resist and persevere." -- Booklist, starred review "In Tali Girls , the central problem facing the villagers comes down to this: to leave or to stay. As one young man from Tali describes his impossible situation, "Running away is worse than staying, and staying is worse than running away." It would be easy to conclude that the people of Tali are doomed . . . But Tali Girls is too big-hearted to remain in this space of cynicism. Throughout the book, sentiments of hopelessness and despair are always contradicted by the fierce spirit of Kowsar, with her belief in the power of love, and of storytelling." - Anna Learn, World Literature Today

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
