Critic Reviews

Riveting, heart-wrenching and incredibly important. My Beautiful Sisters shows us the value of raising our voices in the face of injustice, the ability of sport to unite us all and the strength we have when we stand together. This is an inspirational story for girls and women everywhere, but essential reading for everyone -- MALALA YOUSAFZAI, Nobel Peace Prize laureate
