I, no great lover of fiction,though ocassionally a fan, enjoyed this book. I particularly enjoyed the description of the Afghan peoples and the brief adventures he took into the description of Afghan history. The characters could have been better developed, particularly the primary female character, however, I attribute her deflated description to having been fleshed out by a man. (Perhaps the time period that novel was written in also contributed to the way she was portrayed- a bit 2 dimensionally).

It was an interesting,adventurous story, full of new and wonderful things to imagine. I would venture to read another of Michener's books.
