I recently read Kite Runner and I must say that I had my doubts that Husseini could ever top it. I think he did with this one!
This one is a little more raw and painful, but I loved the timeline leading up to modern Afghanistan. It's terrifying what happens to citizens of countries while their governments sort things out. The citizens were forced to choose lesser evils in the name of simply staying alive. What a resilient group of people!
I've always found it odd how so many cultures throughout history have treated women so horribly when the are truly the givers of life. War and the Taliban are hard to swallow in this book, but the constant mistreatment of the women was almost unbearable.
This is a great book and I would recommend it to everyone.
