Kabul Beauty School: An American Woman Goes Behind the Veil by Deborah Rodriguez, Kristin Ohlson

4.0

Partly memoir/adventure story, partly an excuse to tell about the lives of Afghan women. Kabul Beauty School is an interesting look at a confusing time in a very difficult place. It's an easy read, albeit heartbreaking.

The book had a ghostwritten feel to it (and I believe there is a second author)--the voice of the narrator does not quite match her actions and the authors make a point of trying to explicitly define the narrator's character. Frequently. It seems overly self-conscious and rings a bit false.
