Helpful Score: 1

This book was difficult to read, because of the story content, but it was even harder to put down. I'm much more appreciative of the freedoms and rights we as women living in America have. It is very disturbing to read about how women are thought of and treated else where in the world. Not only did these women have to contend with overwhelming discrimination, they also had to
watch as their homeland was devastated by war and how each change in
regime granted and then took away their rights again and again. It surprises me that a man could write such a compassionate story, capturing with honesty and sensitivity how difficult it is for women who live in an oppressed, war torn country. It's a great book, I can't get it out of mind.
