DNF @ 10% - Just isn't holding my attention like I thought it would. Maybe I'm just not in the right mindset right now? Maybe it's because I'm listening to the audiobook? I'll put it down for now and maybe pick it up again in the future.
Fascinating story about two generations of women from the same family who flout the traditionally accepted female roles in Afghanistan. Lots of hard things in this story, but also lots of strength. I felt that the actual writing in the novel was not particularly outstanding, but the utterly sympathetic heroines kept me engaged until the end. Recommended for fans of “The Kite Runner”, and other such narratives.
