I love the simplicity and repetition of this cover. Plus, the pop of pink from the text is a nice touch. This cover first caught my eye because I just learned about this set of photos by Eadward Muybridge in one of my classes. Guess history is useful after all!
THE TALIBAN CRICKET CLUB
author: timeri n. murari
via amazon.
Great book about a female journalist living in Afghanistan, facing oppression from the government while trying to help her family at the same time. The government hosts a cricket tournament, trying to create some good PR with its neighboring countries, and the winners get to go to Pakistan. Against a backdrop of cricket and the realities that many women face in Afghanistan, Murari writes a story about independence, family, freedom, and love.
