Soon after the fall of the Taliban, in 2001, Deborah Rodriguez went to Afghanistan as part of a group offering humanitarian aid to this war-torn nation. Surrounded by men and women whose skills–as doctors, nurses, and therapists–seemed eminently more practical than her own, Rodriguez, a hairdresser and mother of two from Michigan, despaired of being of any real use. Yet she soon found she had a gift for befriending Afghans, and once her profession became known she was eagerly sought out by Westerners desperate for a good haircut and by Afghan women, who have a long and proud tradition of running their own beauty salons. Thus an idea was born. With the help of corporate and international sponsors, the Kabul Beauty School welcomed its first class in 2003. Well meaning but sometimes brazen, Rodriguez stumbled through language barriers, overstepped cultural customs, and constantly juggled the challenges of a postwar nation even as she learned how to empower her students to become their families’ breadwinners by learning the fundamentals of coloring techniques, haircutting, and makeup. Yet within the small haven of the beauty school, the line between teacher and student quickly blurred as these vibrant women shared with Rodriguez their stories and their hearts: the newlywed who faked her virginity on her wedding night, the twelve-year-old bride sold into marriage to pay her family’s debts, the Taliban member’s wife who pursued her training despite her husband’s constant beatings. Through these and other stories, Rodriguez found the strength to leave her own unhealthy marriage and allow herself to love again, Afghan style. With warmth and humor, Rodriguez details the lushness of a seemingly desolate region and reveals the magnificence behind the burqa. Kabul Beauty School is a remarkable tale of an extraordinary community of women who come together and learn the arts of perms, friendship, and freedom.

Escuela de Belleza de Kabul es un admirable relato sobre una extraordinaria comunidad de mujeres que se unieron para aprender el arte de las permanentes, de la amistad y de la supervivencia. Tras la caída del régimen talibán, Deborah Rodriguez, peluquera y madre de dos hijos, viajó a Afganistán como parte de un grupo de ayuda humanitaria. Una vez allí, no sabía muy bien lo que ella podría ofrecer a este país destrozado por la guerra. Pero pronto descubrió que su profesión, más que un obstáculo, era una bendición, y en cuanto se corrióla voz de que una peluquera había llegado a Kabul, todos, occidentales y afganos, querían pedir cita para un buen corte de pelo. Y así nació la idea... Con la ayuda de empresas y patrocinadores internacionales, la Escuela de Belleza de Kabul, con Rodriguez al mando, impartió su primera clase en 2003. Un lugar este en el que superar las barreras culturales y los retos que ofrecía un país en posguerra. Un lugar que se convirtió en refugio para unas mujeres que no sólo aprendieron a peinar y a maquillar, sino también a abrirsu corazón y a compartir sus increíbles y, a veces, enternecedoras historias. Fue así como esta peluquera norteamericana encontró fuerzas para romper con un matrimonio enfermizo y encontrar un nuevo amor, esta vez al estilo afgano. Con cariño y humor, Deborah Rodriguez detalla la exuberancia de una región aparentemente desolada y revela la magnificencia que hay detrás del burka en esta conmovedora historia real. Reseñas: «Esta animada crónica autobiográfica está llena de momentos de humor negro, que aligeran el relato de lo cotidiano en un país desgarrado por la guerra. Una lectura amena pero llena de sustancia.» People «Como la propia autora explica con alegría: "Casi nunca me lo pienso antes de hacer algo, sino que simplemente lo hago, por lo general con resultados desastrosos". En otras ocasiones, en cambio, como es el caso de este libro, los resultados no podían haber sido mejores.» Entertainment Weekly

Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to Kabul to marry Rasheed. Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a local teenager, Laila, as strong as the ties between mother and daughter. When the Taliban take over, life becomes a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear. Yet love can move a person to act in unexpected ways, and lead them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with a startling heroism.

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'An intimate portrait of Afghani people quite unlike any other . . . compelling' CHRISTINA LAMB, SUNDAY TIMES For more than twenty years Sultan Khan, a bookseller in Kabul, defied the authorities - be they communist or Taliban - to supply books to the people of Kabul. He was arrested, interrogated and imprisoned by the communists and watched illiterate Taliban soldiers burn piles of his books in the street. A committed Muslim, Khan is passionate in his love of books and hatred of censorship. Two weeks after September 11th, award-winning journalist Åsne Seierstad went to Afghanistan to report on the conflict there and the year after she lived with an Afghan family for several months. We learn of proposals and marriages, suppression and abuse of power, crime and punishment. The result is a gripping and moving portrait of a family, and a clear-eyed assessment of a country struggling to free itself from history. 'Fascinating . . . A portrait of people struggling to survive in the most brutal circumstances' DAILY MAIL
