Sad and beautiful. Not unlike his other novels, this one skillfully reflects the fate of Afghans in the last century. But the story is about individuals and how they relate to one another. The Taliban and the Russians are mentioned but only as a part of the setting. And since the story takes place in four different countries, we see a vast array of settings that help give more richness to the story. While the narrators where very good, I felt the audio sometimes made difficult to follow and keep the character straight.
