About this listen
In the heart of rural Afghanistan, where tradition holds tightly to silence and obedience, a young girl named Bahar dares to dream of something more.
Run is a deeply moving and beautifully written novel that follows the journey of Bahar, a girl born into a society where women are expected to remain quiet, hidden, and unquestioning. Raised by her loving mother and wise grandmother, Bahar is surrounded by strength but also by the weight of a culture that limits her voice.
As she grows, Bahar’s thirst for education, freedom, and self-worth deepens. Her life becomes a reflection of countless girls who are forced to choose between tradition and transformation. With each chapter, we witness Bahar’s growth—from a curious child to a determined young woman committed to shaping her identity despite the challenges she faces.
Set against the backdrop of Afghan village life, this novel explores themes of gender, family, love, education, and resilience. Bahar’s story represents the many untold stories of girls who quietly carry the burden of expectation while nurturing bold dreams in their hearts.
