Seierstad tells the story of a middle class Afghan family. The daily life and circumstances are so different than that of Americans, but the family element can be related to. It's upsetting that women have no voice, and almost shocking that old traditions are still clung to. At the same time, it humanizes a culture that for most Americans, is usually only viewed on CNN. An excellent read.
