Title: Bookseller Of Kabul
Product review: This book was an easy read and could be read by teens interested in other cultures.It details the life of a family in Kabul and shows the complete domination of the senior male which is the cultural tradition. It is not only the females, including his two wives, but also his sons who are completely stifled by his rule. I'm sure he doesn't perceive himself to be a bad man or even regard that he is ruining so many lives.He is simply folowing cultural tradition. But one cannot help but share their despair.I understand the bookseller is contemplating a lawsuit. I think the author was extremely fair to him. I think the real problem is that this was the first time that anyone in his personal life did not submit to his control. And it was a woman! His honor and the imperative that he not appear weak have been severely threatened in his eyes.
