daniellahead 's review for:
The Bookseller of Kabul
by Åsne Seierstad
This was okay. It was highly recommended, so I was looking forward to digging in. I'm not sure how accurate the description of life in Afghanistan is, but since it was written by a journalist who lived with an Afghanie family in order to write the book, i'll take her word for it. I think her description of life was so bleak--especially her depiction of woman's roles and destinies, along with a scathing, depressing take on Islam just really bummed me out on the whole book--and country.
