Aisha

Some wars are fought with bullets. Others are fought with words.
Born in Afghanistan and raised in London, Aisha has spent her life between two worlds. When she returns to her homeland as an interpreter, she discovers that words are never neutral. Every sentence can save a life or destroy one.
Caught between family loyalty, political pressure and her own conscience, Aisha is drawn into a dangerous struggle where every decision has consequences. The more she speaks, the greater the danger becomes, until she must answer one impossible question: How much are you willing to sacrifice for the truth?
Aisha: When Every Word Is a Weapon is a compelling literary novel about identity, courage, freedom and the extraordinary power of language. Set against the backdrop of modern Afghanistan, it tells the unforgettable story of a woman who refuses to surrender her voice, even when silence would be the safer choice. A moving and thought-provoking novel that will stay with readers long after the final page.
