I bought this book to take to the Bookcrossing Convention in Washington,DC.
I read it a while ago and found it very enlightening as to the problems in Afghanistan.

To the finder of this book:
Congratulations! You have just discovered the wonderful world of Bookcrossing. Please make a journal entry to let me know that my book has found a friend. Read it, if you wish, and let me know what you thought of it. Your journal entry can be Anonymous but it's much more fun to think up a Screen Name for yourself and become a member. BookCrossing is a very safe site and also a lot of fun! When you are finished with the book, pass it on to someone else or leave it somewhere "in the Wild". If you choose to join, please list "Nelle" as the person who referred you.
I hope you enjoy this book and BookCrossing!

Meganh has raved so much about this book I decided to pick it up for reading on our American Road trip.

A very sensitive and moving story which describes a young boy's life in Afghanistan and his macabre relationship with his father and also his relationship with the servant Hassan who turns out to be his stepbrother. He only discovers this in his adult life which adds to his misgivings and still leaves him in a state of sadness.

Left somewhere near the museum on our Route 66 adventure.
Hope the next reader enjoys it as much as I did.
