This book should be required reading for anyone who is interested in the war in Afghanistan and wants to understand what its people are up against. This wonderful novel neither gives nor suggests answers to the problem; it just tells an awful, beautiful story about life in Kabul over the last forty or fifty years. It is up to the reader to think about the possibilities there.
Another book that might help is Greg Mortenson's Stones Into Schools. This is a nonfiction book about building schools, especially for girls, in Afghanistan and Pakistan.Get more detail about A Thousand Splendid Suns.
