It's been a year since I've read this book and I still can't forget it. Set in Taliban Afghanistan, this novel gives a deeper look into the daily life of this society and the effects of oppression on the human soul. Though the story is told primarily from the perspective of the men, it's really the stories and plights of the women who have center stage.
