Parvana and her mother go to the prison to beg for his freedom, and they are beaten by the guards and told to leave. One day a group of Taliban soldiers breaks into Parvana's house to arrest her father for having a foreign education. Her older brother Hossain was killed by a land mine at fourteen. Parvana loves school and learning, even though the Taliban has disallowed girls from receiving an education. Parvana’s parents are from old respected Afghan families and have foreign educations, though they have lost most of their wealth and possessions after years of war. Women must be covered in burqas at all times, and many forms of expression, like books and music, have been restricted. The Taliban, a group of religious extremists, is in control of Kabul and has enforced strict rules over the city. Their family also includes Parvana's mother, her older sister Nooria, her younger sister Maryam, and her little brother Ali, all of whom are ordered by law to stay inside their one-room apartment. He also reads letters for a fee, as many people in the country are illiterate. She sits silently with her face covered in a chador scarf while her father, who has difficulty walking and needs her assistance, tries to sell off some of the family's household goods.
