"The Breadwinner" by Deborah Ellis, through the protagonist, Parvana, and the other characters, explores the reality of life under the Taliban rule in Afghanistan. It is primarily the story of Parvana, a young girl, and her family, but it tells a lot about the contemporary politics in Afghanistan and international politics that affected the common and downtrodden people in Afghanistan.
