Summary

Nadia Ghulam, Agnes Rotger: The secret of my turban

During her life in Afghanistan, Nadia Ghulam attracted the attention of foreign media because of her unusual lifestyle, and after going abroad, she decided to control her story completely. In collaboration with journalist Agnès Rotger, she wrote the novel The secret of my turban (El secret del meu turban, 2010). It is a story that follows her life after, when she was a little girl, a bomb destroyed her family home in Afghanistan, causing her serious injuries that caused her to be treated in hospitals for several years. After her recovery, due to a complex family situation, she decided to pretend to be a boy in order to work, earn money and take care of a family of five, because even that was forbidden for women under the Taliban occupation. Her double life lasted as long as eight years, the political circumstances in the country changed, but it was not easy to take off the turban and give up the freedom and status she had achieved as a man in Afghan society. She is given an opportunity and goes to Spain to start a new life as a woman. This poignant, but extremely important story has been translated into a dozen world languages and for good reason received the Prudenci Bertrana Award in 2010, right after its publication, and was recently nominated for the prestigious Deutscher Jugendliteratur Preis, one of the most important German awards for literature for children and young people, as an important feminist contribution to literature that bravely raises its voice against the oppression of girls and women.
