I really appreciate this angle of Afghanistan being shown to me since I had little pior knowledge of Kabul under Taliban regime, but honestly I couldn't tell what this book was striving to be stylistically. If it was to be a journalism story, I think it fell flat. As another reviewer said, it feels like fiction, and this sort of ruins the realism of the story imo. I kept reading because I love knowing what life was like and I liked Kamlia's determination, but if not for my own personal interest in the subject I probably would've put it down due to the uninteresting narration style.
