What reading level is The Underground Girls of Kabul book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When she is told a number of ballot boxes from her province are invalid, she eats. When the landlord of the family’s apartment gives her a week’s notice to move out and find somewhere else to live, she eats. When her husband announces that his first wife and daughter are to come and live with them again in Kabul—and that his decision is final—she eats.
Azita rips through the soft naan bread, she reaches for the rest of Mehran’s cookies, she scrapes spoonfuls of rice from pots before doing the di...shes.
It’s embarrassing, and she cannot stop.
For a woman to become fat, in Afghanistan too, is seen as a sign of weak character; of someone who is no longer in control. But there is no other drug available, and it’s not like she can choose to fall apart now. She tries to quell the anxiety as best she can and she overdoses on what is closest and most accessible to her. She eats furiously and she eats mindlessly; she stops only when she is full to the point of feeling ill, allowing nausea to trump worry for a few moments, when blood has left the brain and heads for the stomach, when the sugar spews into every vein and dims the mind.
