Front cover reads: A year in the life of an Afghan women's writing group.

In August 2021 a women's creative writing group in Afghanistan shared news of political turmoil and the Fall of Kabul. These women were in the process of publishing a short-story collection when their world was turned upside down by the Taliban. In staying connected via WhatsApp messages, they established a lifeline; a vital space to keep their creativity alive, support each other and bear witness to the events unfolding around them. 'My Dear Kabul' is their story, and a collective diary of a year living under the Taliban.
