"En roman om rotlöshet, överlevnad och att forma sitt eget öde." Hanna Gunnarsson, BTJ

Kabul, 1978. Sitara är dotter till en framträdande politiker och lever ett privilegierat liv i Afghanistans blomstrande huvudstad. 70-talet är en tid av tillväxt under ledning av landets progressiva president och Sitaras far, presidentens högra hand. Men tioåriga Sitaras värld rämnar när kommunisterna genomför en statskupp och mördar presidenten och hela hennes familj. Endast Sitara överlever.

Hon blir räddad ur palatset av vakten Shair och sedermera adopterad av en kvinnlig amerikansk diplomat som tar henne till USA. I sitt nya land byter Sitara namn till Aryana, begraver sig i studier och blir så småningom en framgångsrik kirurg.

New York, 2008. Trettio år efter den ödesdigra natten i Kabul skakas Aryanas värld ännu en gång när en man hon mött förut dyker upp i hennes undersökningsrum. Det är Shair, soldaten som räddade hennes liv men som även kan ha mördat hennes familj. Att se honom igen väcker Aryanas önskan om svar - och kanske även hämnd.

NADIA HASHIMI är en afghansk-amerikansk författare och barnläkare som bor i Maryland. Hennes debutroman, Pärlan som sprängde sitt skal, har gjort succé världen över. Stjärnor i natten är hennes tredje bok på LB Förlag.

"Hashimi har lyckats med konststycket att binda samman de två berättarformerna, det österländska sagoberättandet och den moderna västerländska romanformens speciella tonart, till en fulländad färgrik bildväv." Ragnhild Oxhagen, Ölandsbladet

Av författaren till Pärlan som sprängde sitt skal.

Fereiba har aldrig upplevt en större kärlek än den till sin make, Mahmoud, och deras familj. De lever ett lyckligt medelklassliv i Afghanistan med utbildning och välbetalda arbeten.

Men deras liv förändras hastigt när krig utbryter och talibanerna tar över makten i landet. Mahmoud, som är civilingenjör, blir måltavla för den nya fundamentalistiska regimen och mördas. Fereiba tvingas fly Kabul med deras tre barn och har bara en chans att överleva: hon måste ta sig till sin syster i England.

Med förfalskade papper påbörjar Fereiba en farlig flykt genom Afghanistan. Utmattad och förkrossad lyckas hon, dold av nattens mörker, ta sin familj över gränsen till Iran och hela vägen till Grekland. Men bland folkmassorna på en stimmig marknad försvinner plötsligt hennes tonårsson, Saleem, från resten av familjen. Fereiba står inför ett omöjligt val, men fortsätter flykten för att rädda de andra medan Saleem dras ned i en mörk undre värld bland papperslösa afghaner som härjar på Europas gator. På varsin sida av kontinenten kämpar Fereiba och Saleem för att nå varandra och för att finna en plats där de kan börja om på nytt.

Succédebuten om en afghansk familj och en kvinnas kamp för sin frihet.

Rahima lever i Kabul med sina systrar och deras oberäknelige och drogberoende far. Deras liv är hårt styrt eftersom de inte får vistas utomhus utan en manlig släkting. När fadern inte är tillgänglig kan de alltså inte gå till skolan eller handla mat. Deras enda möjlighet är att låta Rahima bli en bacha posh, det vill säga att hon klär sig som en ung pojke och kan ta ansvar för sina systrar. I samband med sin ökade frihet får Rahima höra historien om Shekiba, hennes gammelfaster, som periodvis också fick leva som man.

Men allt förändras när Rahima och hennes systrar hastigt gifts bort och Rahima blir fjärde hustru till Abdul Khaliq. Nu när hon vet vilken frihet männen har kan hon omöjligt anpassa sig till sitt nya liv.

Afghansk-amerikanska Nadia Hashimis debutroman Pärlan som sprängde sitt skal är en brännande historia om maktlöshet, ödet och friheten att bestämma över sitt eget liv, som förenar den kulturella karaktären och det känslomässiga djupet hos Khaled Hosseini och Jhumpa Lahiri.

NADIA HASHIMI arbetar som barnläkare i Maryland där hon bor med sin man och fyra barn. Pärlan som sprängde sitt skal är hennes debutroman som gjort succé över hela världen.

"En ömsint och vacker familjehistoria och en spegling av de afghanska kvinnornas pågående kamp."Khaled Hosseini, författare till Flyga drake och Tusen strålande solar

"Nadia Hashimi väver samman två lika uppslukande historier i sin episka, trollbindande debut." Booklist

Afghan-American Nadia Hashimi's literary debut novel is a searing tale of powerlessness, fate, and the freedom to control one's own fate that combines the cultural flavor and emotional resonance of the works of Khaled Hosseini, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Lisa See. In Kabul, 2007, with a drug-addicted father and no brothers, Rahima and her sisters can only sporadically attend school, and can rarely leave the house. 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-great grandmother, Shekiba, left orphaned by an epidemic, saved herself and built a new life the same way. Crisscrossing in time, The Pearl the Broke Its Shell 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?

A vivid, unforgettable story of an unlikely sisterhood-an emotionally powerful and haunting tale of friendship that illuminates the plight of women in a traditional culture-from the author of the bestselling The Pearl That Broke Its Shell and When the Moon Is Low. For two decades, Zeba was a loving wife, a patient mother, and a peaceful villager. But her quiet life is shattered when her husband, Kamal, is found brutally murdered with a hatchet in the courtyard of their home. Nearly catatonic with shock, Zeba is unable to account for her whereabouts at the time of his death. Her children swear their mother could not have committed such a heinous act. Kamal's family is sure she did, and demands justice. Barely escaping a vengeful mob, Zeba is arrested and jailed.As Zeba awaits trial, she meets a group of women whose own misfortunes have also led them to these bleak cells: thirty-year-old Nafisa, imprisoned to protect her from an honor killing; twenty-five-year-old Latifa, who ran away from home with her teenage sister but now stays in the prison because it is safe shelter; and nineteen-year-old Mezhgan, pregnant and unmarried, waiting for her lover's family to ask for her hand in marriage. Is Zeba a cold-blooded killer, these young women wonder, or has she been imprisoned, as they have been, for breaking some social rule? For these women, the prison is both a haven and a punishment. Removed from the harsh and unforgiving world outside, they form a lively and indelible sisterhood. Into this closed world comes Yusuf, Zeba's Afghan-born, American-raised lawyer, whose commitment to human rights and desire to help his motherland have 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 look at the lives of modern Afghan women, A House Without Windows is astonishing, frightening, and triumphant.

“Suspenseful…emotionally compelling. I found myself eagerly following in a way I hadn’t remembered for a long time, impatient for the next twist and turn of the story."—NPRAn Afghan American woman returns to Kabul to learn the truth about her family and the tragedy that destroyed their lives in this brilliant and compelling novel from the bestselling author of The Pearl That Broke Its Shell, The House Without Windows, and When the Moon Is Low.Kabul, 1978: The daughter of a prominent family, Sitara Zamani lives a privileged life in Afghanistan’s thriving cosmopolitan capital. The 1970s are a time of remarkable promise under the leadership of people like Sardar Daoud, Afghanistan’s progressive president, and Sitara’s beloved father, his right-hand man. But the ten-year-old Sitara’s world is shattered when communists stage a coup, assassinating the president and Sitara’s entire family. Only she survives. Smuggled out of the palace by a guard named Shair, Sitara finds her way to the home of a female American diplomat, who adopts her and raises her in America. In her new country, Sitara takes on a new name—Aryana Shepherd—and throws herself into her studies, eventually becoming a renowned surgeon. A survivor, Aryana has refused to look back, choosing instead to bury the trauma and devastating loss she endured. New York, 2008: Thirty years after that fatal night in Kabul, Aryana’s world is rocked again when an elderly patient appears in her examination room—a man she never expected to see again. It is Shair, the soldier who saved her, yet may have murdered her entire family. Seeing him awakens Aryana’s fury and desire for answers—and, perhaps, revenge. Realizing that she cannot go on without finding the truth, Aryana embarks on a quest that takes her back to Kabul—a battleground between the corrupt government and the fundamentalist Taliban—and through shadowy memories of the world she loved and lost. Bold, illuminating, heartbreaking, yet hopeful, Sparks Like Stars is a story of home—of America and Afghanistan, tragedy and survival, reinvention and remembrance, told in Nadia Hashimi’s singular voice.

From bestselling novelist Nadia Hashimi—a gripping, occasionally terrifying, yet ultimately hopeful novel focusing on the women of Afghanistan in the years since the Taliban regained power.In February 2020 the US began to withdraw troops from Afghanistan after nearly twenty years of occupation. A whole generation of Afghan women had been born during that time—women who had grown up in relative peace, gone to school, entered the professions, even served in the army and Parliament. The women of Afghanistan watched as the Taliban filled the streets again. They knew everything was about to change.In the bustling, cosmopolitan city of Kabul, women are TV newscasters, shop owners, doctors, teachers, lawyers, even soldiers. They include Marjan, who fought with the Afghan army, and will risk everything to keep her daughter Hawa safe. In her earlier days Marjan was called Rahima and had lived the life of a bacha posh—a girl raised as a boy until she came of age. Forced into an early marriage, Rahima took the name Marjan when she fled her warlord husband. She’s created a whole new life for herself, one she will not give up easily. So has Soraya, who defiantly wore red lipstick as she led the army’s all-female combat force over the objections of her upper-class family. Soraya’s now a wanted woman whose brother may choose not to shelter her from the Taliban. What will become of her? Or Mina, a journalist and broadcaster whose beautiful face is known to everyone in Kabul—including the new regime?Fight or flight? Or find a third way? One thing is for certain: none of these women will meekly accept her fate.An epic saga of fear, resistance, change, and reinvention, City of Widows gives voices to the unforgettable Afghan women at a crossroads of history.
