About the book Breadwinner
The Breadwinner is the first of three Cable Girls novels.

The man stood between him and the sun. The butterfly had felt its shadow before seeing it. He turned his head and saw a black handkerchief for the Taliban on the man. The gun was on the width of his chest; In the same way that his father’s rudder bag was placed on his chest.

The Taliban soldier was still looking at him. Then he reached into his vest and, looking at the butterfly, pulled something out of his vest pocket.

The butterfly wanted to close her eyes and wait for her to shoot when she saw that a letter had come out of her pocket.

He sat on the blanket, next to the butterfly.
“Read this,” he said.

This novel is about the life of the Afghan people when it is run by the Taliban, an extremist religious group.

Deborah Ellis has lived in Afghan refugee camps and heard many stories, such as the life story of a butterfly. She has donated all the rights to the book to the Women for Women Association in Afghanistan, who have dedicated their lives to educating Afghan girls in refugee camps in Pakistan.

“Butterfly Journey” and “City of Flowers” are the other two novels of this trilogy.
