Although not as good as The Kite Runner, this is an excellent, well written piece of fiction based upon the recent history of war-town Afghanistan. The characters are well developed and believable and at times the writing is beautiful.
For a spell binding account of Afghanistan after 9-11 but before the US invasion, read The Places In Between by Rory Stewart. This is the true tale of one Scotsman's WALK across the entire country,from Herat to Kabul, during winter, sleeping where ever he was welcome. 90% of Afghans live in tribal villages, and this book is a real eye opener.
