Kabul Beauty School: An American Woman Goes Behind the Veil by Deborah Rodriguez and Kristin Ohlson
A terrific opening chapter—colorful, suspenseful, funny—ushers readers into the curious closed world of Afghan women.  A wedding is about to take place, arranged, of course, but there is a potentially dire secret—the bride is not technically a virgin.  How Rodriguez, an admirably resourceful and dynamic woman, set to marry a nice Afghan man, solves this problem makes a great story. 

Books may be available at the Circulation Desk; we make every effort to have enough copies for everyone, but we cannot guarantee anyone a copy. Refreshments are provided by the Friends of the Aliso Viejo Library and the Saddleback Chapter of the National Charity League.
