I have read a number of books this year about Afghanistan; its culture and its people. I have read The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns,and One about a western style beauty parlor in Kabul run by an American Woman. This book, The Bookseller of Kabul is the best at describing the conditions Afghani women must endure within the family. This book is the story of a man who is the successful father in a middle class family and the relationship he has with the 2 wives, children and other members of his large extended family. This book really describes the male and female mind-set better than any other I have read. When you finish it you will be so glad that you live in the U. S.
