Parvana and her family live in north-west Afghanistan in the capital city of Kabul. Kabul is Afghanistan's largest town or city which also has the largest population. A lot of Kabul is run down or blown up because of the Taliban and their strict rules. There are a lot of beggars on the street and poor people living in partially blown up buildings because they don't have enough money to live anywhere else. There is no running water in the houses so they have to make trips to the water tank which is a long walk away. 
The main marketplace at Kabul is where Parvana's father used to go to sell his merchandise and where Parvana goes now to earn money for her family. It is big and filled with shops with workers selling what ever they can find around the house. It is packed with beggars and people using every single spare square centimetre of space to use for there stall. It is very heavily packed and very hard to sell things. 
Kabul prison is where Parvana's father is being kept. This is also where Parvana and her mother unsuccessfully went to try and get Parvana's father out of prison. It is very heavily guarded at every entrance and the prisoners are not treated well. The prison guards can pretty much do what ever they want to the prisoners without killing them.
