The Kite Runner
Have any of you ladies read this book? ?I just got finished with it. ?It was a great book, but oh so sad... ?What did you think? ?Its crazy, I read Three Cups of Tea and really learned a lot about the Muslim culture. ?Then, I read this book, I know its fiction! But still, it was crazy to read. ?Two very different extremes!
Re: The Kite Runner
Love, Love, LOVED both of those books! I couldn't put the Kite Runner down... I watched the movie (Kite Runner) too, but liked the book better. Three Cups of Tea was a fab read also!
I'm particularly interested in books from that part of the world due to hubby having been deployed to Afghanistan -- when he was over there I read as much about it as I could, and did my senior thesis in college on Women and Education in Afghanistan. It's an amazing culture to learn about.
Loved both the Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, which is a similar style of storytelling, but from a woman's perspective. Even though they are fiction, they are drawn mostly from real world conditions.
I'll never forget reading the part in ATSS about societal constraints and realizing that while I was a senior in high school here another part of the world was imposing restrictions akin to the middle ages.
