In May last year, the Taliban once again took control of Afghanistan, following the withdrawal of US military forces.

The regime promised to respect women's rights, but the reality has been a return to earlier restrictions: on jobs, study and basic human rights.

In 2001, the Canadian author Deborah Ellis wrote the first book in her Breadwinner series, which introduced readers to Parvana, a young Afghan girl, and her struggles to overcome her place in society.

This year, Deb is taking us back to Afghanistan where an adult Parvana and her family must escape once more.
