The favored daughter by fawzia koofi7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() Her mother shunned her at birth, leaving her unattended for 24 hours after her birth, essentially to die. By her own telling, her father spoke only once to her in her life, and that was to tell her to go away. The origins of the name of the book are a little unclear. The subject of this book would persuasively say that they should be given that chance. ![]() Is democracy possible to create? Can Afghanistan sustain a democracy after centuries of tribal culture and decades of political corruption. There is an equal amount said here that would make you think someone should stay and monitor the recovery. There is a lot said here that might lead you to think it was foolish to have entered in the first place (if you didn't already think that post-Russian invasion-but then we were never all that great at learning from the mistakes of others, and we have yet to find our post-Cold War place in the world). That being said-that it is not a book of great artisanship-does not detract at all from the fact that it is a story worth listening to, and listening loud and clear, because this is about the country that we are about to pull our troops out of. This is a ghost written book, with a named ghost, but the story has the same limitations, problems, and pluses that you would expect-the story is not the one the writer would tell, but it is better written than the one that the subject would write. ![]()
