Obayda's family is in need of some good fortune, and her aunt has an idea to bring the family luck-dress Obayda, the youngest of four sisters, as a boy, a  bacha posh . Life in this in-between place is confusing, but once Obayda meets another  bacha posh , everything changes. Their transformation won't last forever, though-unless the two best friends can figure out a way to make it stick and make their newfound freedoms endure. Nadia Hashimi's first novel for adults,  The Pearl That Broke Its Shell , was a bestseller that shares a  bacha posh  character with  One Half from the East .","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49162786144475,"sku":"9780062572196-SECONDHAND","price":8.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/990ec21f-3081-499e-984a-4500d8fb4235.jpg?v=1787237401","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780062572196-secondhand-one-half-from-the-east","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
