Introduction and Acqusition: Picked it up at the end of my wedding/honeymoon week.
Time and Circumstance: Fall 2006, to satiate that need to get lost in someone else's world.
What's cool: It's short and sweet and poignant and sad. A book that expanded my universe just a bit, that taught me something about the whole Taliban/Afghanistan history, which is relevant to the current global concerns. Another heart-wrenching story that made me care about the characters, that made the people of this other culture very real, and human, rather than images on CNN.
What kinda sucked: Not much. Don't read this expecting a happy ending.
Leftover Thoughts: Sad and tragic.
