The Broken Circle. A memoir of escaping Afghanistan. Enjeela Ahmadi-Miller. 2019. ISBN 139781503903784. The author was a small child when part of her wealthy family left Kabul for Delhi. She stayed behind with her brothers, two sisters and her father. She lived through the Russian invasion and war. She and her siblings fled Kabul with a guide and travelled ( walked, trekked) for two years to get through to Pakistan (over the Hindu Kush) where they were reunited with their father. Passportless they travelled to Bangladesh, Nepal and eventually India running the gauntlet of border patrols and security services. Eventually, they reunited with the whole family in New Delhi. From there they would travel to America. The story is told simply through the eyes of a child, but it is a dramatic portrayal of the life of refugees and the grinding poverty of the hill tribes in Afghanistan. Well worth the read.
