Helpful Score: 1

I enjoyed this book better than The Kite Runner. Again, I felt the characters were fully-drawn, but this time nothing happened that seemed like an amazing coincidence. I listened to this book on CD, and I loved the sound of the foreign words and names which I woudl have struggled over if I had read it on a page. I left this book with a sense of what the Afghan women have been through - the political turmoil, the violence, the oppression which has continued in cycles for so long. Thsi book has made the current events in Afghanistan even more poignant to me.
