Question

The Breadwinner

Why does Nooria say that she was an ugly baby so the Soviets fled the country as fast as they can?

Page 13 states “‘You were such an ugly baby, the Soviets couldn’t stand being in the same country with you,’ Nooria was fond of telling her. ‘They fled back across the border in horror as fast as their tanks could carry them,’”

Nooria likes to tease and annoy her sister so she says these things. The relationship between Parvana and her older sister is a typical sibling relationship. There is rivalry, and there is jealousy. Nooria finds Parvana annoying, Parvana finds her sister shallow, bossy and obnoxious.
