Very well written book about life in Afganistan from the point of view of two women married to a vicious man who treats them like slaves. The women develop a friendship that sustains them through many degradations. The story covers the time from just before till just after the Taliban takeover of that country, thus offers its readers an insightful glimpse into the recent history of that region.
