xA House Without Windows by Nadia Hashimi
A House Without Windows by Nadia Hashimi is a vivid, haunting, and emotionally powerful novel that sheds light on the lives of women navigating a deeply traditional society. From the bestselling author of The Pearl That Broke Its Shell and When the Moon Is Low, this unforgettable story explores injustice, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds formed in the most unlikely places.
For twenty years, Zeba has lived as a devoted wife, a patient mother, and a peaceful villager in Afghanistan. Her life is abruptly torn apart when her husband is found brutally murdered in their own courtyard. Too traumatized to explain where she was at the time of his death, Zeba becomes the prime suspect. While her children insist on her innocence, her husband’s family demands justice. Barely escaping a violent mob, Zeba is arrested and sent to prison to await trial.
Inside the bleak prison walls, Zeba encounters other women whose stories reveal the harsh realities of life under rigid social rules. There is Nafisa, imprisoned for her own protection from an “honor killing”; Latifa, a runaway who remains because prison offers safety she never found outside; and Mezghan, young, pregnant, and unmarried, waiting for the courts to decide her fate. As their stories intertwine, these women form an unlikely yet powerful sisterhood—finding solidarity, understanding, and strength behind locked doors.
As Zeba’s trial approaches, her case is taken up by Yusuf, an Afghan-born, American-raised lawyer committed to human rights and justice. Through his efforts to uncover the truth, he begins to realize that Zeba’s story—and the story of Afghanistan itself—is far more complex than it first appears.
Deeply moving and thought-provoking, A House Without Windows offers an intimate look into the struggles, courage, and quiet defiance of modern Afghan women. It is a story that is astonishing, heartbreaking, and ultimately triumphant, making it a must-read for lovers of powerful literary fiction.
Perfect for readers interested in women’s fiction, literary fiction, Afghan literature, human rights stories, emotional novels, and books about female resilience.
