My understanding and knowledge of life in Afghanistan is somewhat confused and jumbled. I'd like to change that! I read many articles about different aspects of life in Afghanistan but I haven't read many books and I think I need to in order to get a more genuine and honest account of the situation there. With the US a large presence in the area, at one time anyway,I'd expect this story may not be far from the truth for a few people, which heightens my interest in Aziz's thought process and decisions. I think this will be a very emotional story and occasionally somewhat troubling but overall a very worthwhile read. Thank you for a wonderful review, Erin! ~ Amy What a captivating story!

I've not read any fiction about Afghanistan, but this looks like it'd be a good intro. Agree with Colleen: I think I'd wanna flip through it, see how the story/writing goes -- I think this is one of those reads that if it's not "just so" I'd have a hard time staying focused ...

I do love historical fiction and I LOVED The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, but I would have to read an excerpt of the book to see how the author writes and whether this is for me. Another book to check out next time I am at the book store! I might give this book a try as well.

Some were fictional and others were memoirs. I find this area fascinating to read; however, I am thankful I live in the good ole USA. I may give this book a read. Thanks for your review.
