Review of Once Upon A Time In Afghanistan

[Loniya Chabili Mubanga]

I'm actually intrigued enough to look up more details of what transpired in Afghanistan to get a feel of everything before reading this book. It seems very interesting and I'd enjoy exploring more of Nazila, a survivor's account of things. I also wonder how her interfaith was like, if it worked out at all and what happened to the father. All those details seem very interesting to me.

"Once Upon a Time in Afghanistan"

It seemed the author's family escape during the conflict. With vivid storytelling, Nazila Sawhney takes readers on an emotional journey from her childhood in Afghanistan to their refugee life in Canada. The narrative provides a unique perspective, light on resilience and patriotism. A highly recommended read, earning a 5 out of 5 stars

Oh, this is definitely interesting. Insider's perspective to life in Afghanistan is rare. Mostly, we only know what has been said in the news. In addition, Nazila's path of life, first to India, and then as a refugee to Canada, is not the most typical one. Thank you for this insightful review!

The moving memoir "Once Upon a Time in Afghanistan" by Nazila Sawhney details her family's flight from war-torn Afghanistan. Sawhney creates an emotionally charged and resilient story that spans from her early recollections of a bustling Afghanistan to the chaos following their escape. The book explores the difficulties her family encountered reestablishing their life and adjusting to new cultures while living as refugees in Canada. Sawhney gives readers a first-hand account of survival and adaptation through his emotive storytelling. She illuminates the nuances of identity and the human side of migration via her experiences. Though Sawhney doesn't directly address current affairs, her story still has impact because it highlights the value of resiliency, family, and giving back. Her autobiography is evidence of the lasting

In her nonfiction book Once Upon a Time in Afghanistan, Nazila Sawhney describes her experiences and the circumstances surrounding her family's flight from Afghanistan during the war. She connects the readers to Afghanistan with her tale. According to the reviewer, her stories take you on an emotional trip that is both joyful and depressing. The review is written and explained quite well. Congratulations on BOTD, author.

Great review I believe this book is an eye opener with the world going through such wars and people being forced to move out of their country just for the sake of survival and end up as refugees in another state, the trauma that causes, but still the author overcame it all looking forward to reading the book

The book sounds interesting as the author takes us on her journey of how was Afghanistan then and now. It sounds interesting as it is a personal journey of the author, as a reader you get to feel the raw emotions as you read.

I can’t imagine seeing a once- beautiful country turned into what it is now. And that’s not including what has happened to the people. But Ms. Caymares knows better than us who haven’t been there. Congratulations on BOTD!

I appreciate that the author provides a unique perspective and offers a deeper understanding of the situation in Afghanistan, beyond what was portrayed in the media.

I also admire the author's resilience and her commitment to helping others. The reviewer mentions how she didn't let survivor's guilt consume her and instead took action to create a positive impact. This resilience and dedication inspire me and make me curious to explore her story further.

Although the reviewer acknowledges that the book didn't align with their initial expectations of a survivor's account from the recent events in Afghanistan, they still found value in the historical context and personal experiences presented. This reassures me that the book provides a valuable insight into the country's past and its impact on individuals and families.

I feel what makes the book more interesting and thrilling is the fact that it is the author's personal journey. As the author got to write everything she went through she relieved every moment and got to experience the emotions again as she put everything on paper. I would love to read the author's life on Afghanistan.

[DUNCAN TSHEPANG MATHEBULA]

The review is insightful. I love that the author did not have a survivor's guilt instead she opened ways for the others left back at Afghanistan.
