Thank you! I met Azita in Kabul earlier this year, and she was still there, and most recently she worked for the Ghani presidential campaign.

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?

Jenny Nordberg:
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.
