Tonight was our Book Club meeting, where we discussed A Thousand Splendid Suns. It's a book about Afghanistan during the wars from the 1980's to 2002, following the lives of two women. It was a very bad time for women, and the book is very depressing in places, descibing the abuse and hardships. But it also teaches a lot about how life is there, and how the people manage to live in spite of the difficulties. We find it almost impossible to relate to the characters in the book, so very different from our lives here.
