I've got a couple of projects in the works now. In the pipeline now is a middle grade story of a bacha posh. I'm hoping the conversations inspired by PEARL about gender and equality will extend to a younger audience, since it's important that we start talking about these issues with our young sons and daughters. Teachers and parents, I'll be very interested in your thoughts and discussion once this is released in the fall of 2016.
I'm also working on another adult novel that has to do with the women imprisoned for crimes of immorality in Afghanistan. The research for this work has been fascinating and troubling. More to come...

Hi, I enjoy reading your book. I've heard a lot about arranged marriage involving children in some countries, but to read a story from their perspectives (even if it's a fiction) gives a new perspective. It makes me wonder, though, do you still practicing Islam? Because through the writing, I can sense that the narrator somehow feel disappointed with some aspect of the religion.

Dear Nadia, I am reading your book and I have a question and it looks like nobody knows the answer, not even my Afghan friends.. I am from Iran and speak farsi. In the following sentence : "A year later, in the same dismal month of Qows, Shekiba’s languishing mother decided not to wake up from sleep" what does "month of Qows" mean? Will be glad to hear from you. Thanks in advance, Warouj
