Kabul Beauty School

An American Woman Goes Behind the Veil
Jan 19, 2011Books100 rated this title 3 out of 5 stars
This is an unusual non-fictional account of a hair stylist who leaves her American lifestyle for Kabul Afghanistan. Incredibly, she builds a beauty business there, training and hiring local women to help them upgrade their lifestyles. Marrying an Afghan man, and adopting their way of life, she describes beautifully the Afghani women she meets. One of the things she says is that no Afghan women will allow another woman, a sister, to cry alone, she will unburden the grief by sharing it.
