Their only hope lies in the ancient custom of bacha posh, which allows young Rahima to dress and be treated as a boy until she is of marriageable age. As a son, she can attend school, go to the market, and chaperone her older sisters. But Rahima is not the first in her family to adopt this unusual custom. A century earlier, her great-aunt, Shekiba, left orphaned by an epidemic, saved herself and built a new life the same way. Crisscrossing in time, the novel interweaves the tales of these two women separated by a century who share similar destinies. But what will happen once Rahima is of marriageable age? Will Shekiba always live as a man? And if Rahima cannot adapt to life as a bride, how will she survive? 650 0 $a Girls $z Afghanistan $x Social conditions $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sex role $z Afghanistan $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Impersonation $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Children of drug addicts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Afghanistan $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Family life $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Identity $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Freedom $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Coming of age $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Courage $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Survival $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Fathers and daughters $v Fiction. 651 4 $a Afghanistan. 651 7 $a Afghanistan. 650 7 $a Children of drug addicts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01430026 650 7 $a Girls $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00942908 650 7 $a Impersonation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00968149 650 7 $a Sex role. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114598 650 7 $a Sisters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01119758 651 7 $a Afghanistan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205406 655 0 $a Domestic fiction. 655 4 $a Domestic fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726589 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 $n 1 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20210621134639.0 $n 10 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20210601113750.0 $n 5 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2F5CF2D2AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
