Helpful Score: 1

* * * ½ * The book spans 30 years in the lives of 2 women in war-torn Afghanistan as they struggle against old male-created values. It is a definite page turner but the impact of the book's conclusion is marred by a hint of a theme the author uses in his first book. Thus it is not the type of book that will stay with you like "Kite Runner". Great book, nonetheless.
