Sobrecogedora, impactante y esperanzada al mismo tiempo, esta novela describe el infierno por el que pasan las mujeres de Afganistán. Las protagonistas, una reportera y una fotógrafa, entran de lleno en una asfixiante realidad de analfabetismo, corrupción y falta de higiene, bajo un permanente estado de guerra. Y esas mujeres sin rostro, sometidas a unas inflexibles leyes, son las víctimas silenciosas y pasivas de una sociedad medieval que se resiste a evolucionar.

No encontrará usted, ávido lector, libro más canalla que este que tiene ahora mismo en sus manos. Leída semejante afirmación, podrá usted dudar entre hacerse con él o volverlo a colocar sobre la estantería en la que tan tranquilo estaba. Podrá, por supuesto, decidirse por otro libro: una novela, un poemario, incluso otra colección de cuentos. O podrá marcharse a su casa, más tarde, sin libro alguno en su cartera. Podrá –tiene derecho a hacerlo– suponer que esta advertencia es una exageración: una trampa editorial, un juego de palabras que sólo busca un efecto mercantil. Y podrá –incluso sin terminar de leer esta contracubierta– hacer más cosas, infinidad de cosas que poco o nada tienen que ver con nuestra antología.
