The Taliban, member’s of the ruling party in Afghanistan, forbid women from exiting the house without being accompanied by a man so the only person being able to provide for the family was the father. Parvana, the protagonist of the novel, went outside only with her father when he went to the market to make a sale.She helped him walk because her father lost his foot. Parvana observed people and her father while they were working. Her time spent amongst the salesman and her father helped her later on when the Taliban took away her father to prison. She dressed up like a boy so she could walk freely. She would make some sales on the market and read letters that were brought by illiterate Taliban.
