Title: gripping audio evocation of post-Taliban life in a personal vein
Product review: The audio version of this book is very expressive and compelling. It could be faulted slightly for being a bit too expressive, perhaps more than the writer intended. The audio interpreter occasionally injects an edge to her rendition that may be over the top.The family life portrayed here is dysfunctional and patriarchical - with a vengeance. Both men and women are locked in a sad cycle of pre-determined roles that leaves little room for grace between the sexes, and there seems to be very few mechanisms to change things for the better.
