Hi, thanks for choosing the book for the book club! And your question is not naive at all. I list at the back of the book some organizations whose work I know and have observed personally. Other than that, it may be worth questioning politicians on what they intend to do about Afghanistan other than just sending more aid money. All best, Jenny

I just finished your book (audiobook) - I find it fascinating that this goes on across the world in repressive societies and it has only now been brought to the surface. Excellent story, excellent work and very well written, thank you! Were you aware that 'bacha posh' existed before you began your research for this book? Or did you come across the practice by accident?

Have you read the novel "The pearl that broke its shell" by Nadia Hashimi? I was wondering if the author was inspired by your work on the practice of "bacha posh". I am currently reading the aforementioned novel and it prompted me to look up more information about this practice.
