My Dear Kabul is the collective diary of and an intimate look into the lives of an Afghan women’s writing group. The book comprises of the WhatsApp messages exchanged between the members of the group from the time the country fell in August 2021, for a year.

Experiencing what these women went through in real time, day after day, month after month living under the taliban- some in hiding, some rescued and flown out, some who started living as refugees in other countries, some still living at home - you won’t find such an honest and accurate account of what that year was like for Afghan women.
Among these writers are women who were teachers, a scriptwriter, a lawyer, doctor, psychologist, an engineer, office manager, NGO workers and university students.

One of the writers says “ This book is not a plea…they are not asking for rescue but to be seen.”
And that is the least the rest of us can do - See, understand and if we are in a position to help in any way - use our skills to create a positive impact in the lives of these brave, enterprising, talented, hardworking women who have had their lives pulled out from under them through no fault of their own.
