The Kabul Beauty School

Deborah Rodriguez

The remarkable true story of the bestselling author of The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul, and the real women she met in Afghanistan

‘Composed of heartbreak, hope, poignancy and candour’ LA TIMES

In a little beauty school in the war zone of Kabul, a community of women comes together, all with stories to tell.

DEBBIE, the American hairdresser who co-founds the training salon. As the burqas are removed in class, curls are coiffed and make-up is applied, Debbie’s students share with her their stories - and their hearts.

MINA, forcibly married to a man in repayment of a family debt and threatened with having her child taken away.

ROSHANNA, a tearful young bride terrified her in-laws will discover she’s not a virgin.

And NAHIDA, the prize pupil who bears the scars of her Taliban husband’s approval.

In the Kabul Beauty School, these women and many others find a safe haven and the seeds of their future independence.

From the bestselling author of THE LITTLE COFFEE SHOP OF KABUL, this is an eye-opening, inspiring and enthralling true story.
