Synopsis
Because the Taliban rulers of Kabul, Afghanistan, impose strict limitations on women's freedom and behavior, eleven-year-old Parvana must disguise herself as a boy so that her family can survive after her father's arrest.

In this novel set in war-torn Afghanistan, an 11-year-old girl named Parvana takes desperate measures to help her family survive. Because Afghanistan's Taliban regime has ruled that only men may work or earn money--and that women may not even venture out of their homes unless they are accompanied by a male relative--Parvana takes the extreme step of disguising herself as a boy in order to support her family after her father is arrested and taken away by the government.

Industry Reviews
"A seamless and, given the gravity of its subject matter, surprisingly gentle novel, THE BREADWINNER is a fine, important book for socially conscious readers of any age."
Ruminator Review - Robyn Pal-Freeman
