Ten years later, she found herself in Kabul at Hope House, a sanctuary for orphans and widows established by the indefatigable Afghan-Australian, Mahboba Rawi, to help make a film that would feature the love marriage of a young man from the orphanage and a local girl. While the narrative tension of this absorbing story is generated by the pitfalls and dangers of making a film in Afghanistan, and the drawn-out negotiations with the bride-to-be's father to allow the wedding to take place, it is the children, with their tragic stories, irrepressible energy and dignity who win our hearts.' - Fiona Capp, \u003ci\u003eSydney Morning Herald\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844476063980,"sku":"9780648901105","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/285043482419.jpg?v=1758844121"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/sanaz-fotouhi.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
