A gripping & moving mystery about a woman in modern day Afghanistan which helps bring to life (and humanize) the situation of women & the justice system there. It has compelling characters and a intriguing plot although the happy ending seems a bit too simplistic and thus does not quite ring true. On a side note, I chose this novel after reading In The Land of the Blue Burquas by Kate McCord hoping to balance out that author's depiction of Afghanistan, with her evangelical Christian agenda, with something more imaginative coming from Afghani woman's perspective and it was successful in that regard.
