The Kabul Beauty School by Deborah Rodriguez
The remarkable true story of an extraordinary group of real women who come together to learn the arts of perms, friendship and freedom, from the bestselling author of The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul
Kabul Beauty School transcends the feel-good genre largely because of the author's superior storytelling gifts and wicked sense of humor * New York Times *
Bighearted and entertaining, Kabul Beauty School has a conversational style, but Rodriguez never shies away from the misery and oppression she encounters in the poor, rigidly patriarchal country * Entertainment Weekly *
Composed of heartbreak, hope, poignancy and candour * LA Times *
Colourful, suspenseful, funny.. This witty and insightful memoir will be perfect for women's reading groups * Publishers Weekly *
A very gutsy, real-life adventure story for women . . . This lively memoir is full of darkly funny moments - a customer who had never seen a blow dryer thinks it's a gun and runs screaming from the salon chair - and the humor leavens the horror stories about life in this war-torn land * People *
[Rodriguez's] descriptions are endearingly frank (even about her own social gaffes), and her attempts to help those in need are inspirational and engaging * Washington Post *
