The lovers : Afghanistan's Romeo & Juliet : the true story of how they defied their families and escaped an honor killing

Nordland, Rod (author.).

Summary: A riveting, real-life equivalent of KITE RUNNER - an astonishingly powerful and profoundly moving story of a young couple willing to risk everything for love that puts a human face on the ongoing debate about women's rights in the Muslim world. Zakia and Ali were from different tribes, but they grew up on neighbouring farms in Afghanistan. By the time they were young teenagers, they had fallen in love. Defying their families, sectarian differences, cultural conventions, and Afghan civil and Islamic law, they ran away together only to live under constant threat.
