My Forbidden Face is the true account of a young girl and her family's life in Kabul under the Taliban. In simple but unrestrained language, Latifa recounts the horrifying restrictions placed on the citizens of Kabul, and on women in particular, by the Taliban. While we are all familiar with the imposition of the burqa on the women, I had no idea of the other, more sinister and often life-threatening mandates that they had to contend with. This book was a harrowing and eye-opening read.
