The army major thinks she may be a terrorist working with the Taliban. The girl does not respond to questions in any language and remains silent, even when she is threatened, harassed and mistreated over several days.

But even though the Taliban has been driven from the government, the country is still at war, and many continue to view the education and freedom of girls and women with suspicion and fear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs her family settles into the routine of running the school, Parvana, a bit to her surprise, finds herself restless and bored.
