«The End of Manners» is Francesca Marciano's novel, published by Pantheon Books in hardback (272 pages, in English).
Photographer Maria Galante and journalist Imo Glass travel to Afghanistan to portray girls who attempted suicide rather than accept forced marriages. In that culture, where suicide is taboo and women hide their faces, photographing them can dishonour them and put them in danger. Maria must choose between her work or her conscience.
Published on 20 May 2008 as a first edition; the cover mentions Rules of the Wild, the author's earlier work.
For readers of literary fiction with an interest in Afghanistan, journalism and moral dilemmas, also in reading groups.
