Book of the month December

Book of December is the novel A Thousand  Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.

I won't go into too much detail here as this book is so widely known and admired. It is a story of women living in Afghanistan at the time of  the overthrow of the Soviet backed regime by the Mujjahadeen. Or however you spell it.

The book is very exciting, unbearably moving, enraging and fascinating in terms of understanding these thorny  political issues.

An interesting counterpoint to Homeland which I read earlier.
