Thanks for the great review.<BR/><BR/>You write, "There's probably a thousand women who could tell Mariam or Laila's exact story, only it's the truth." <BR/><BR/>While I don't know what their stories are (yet!), I might recommend "The Storyteller's Daughter" by Saira Shah. She is a British journalist of Afghani descent and she makes her way through Afghanistan (pre 9/11)...and she tells of the country, the history, the people. Its a beautiful memoir.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416328208371979012.post-71560362201271447752007-06-17T09:03:00.000-07:002007-06-17T09:03:00.000-07:00My book arrived too, but I am saving it for July w...My book arrived too, but I am saving it for July when I will actually get to meet Hosseini at a function organized by Penguin, Canada. His book has had some glowing reviews and I keep asking myself does he have another story of this caliber in him, I can hardly wait to find out!Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7416328208371979012.post-7208032151343027572007-06-16T14:12:00.000-07:002007-06-16T14:12:00.000-07:00Oh wow, I had no idea.
