Title: The cover belies the content
Product review: While I "kinda" liked this book, I was disappointed. It was less about the "heroic" bookseller the cover blurb describes and more about his weary, war-torn, and ruled over family. I found him to be less sympathetic by the end of the book than I originally wanted to. I will probably never understand the Afghani-Muslim culture in this part of the world and like as not ever read this book again. I understand that Sultan Khan has printed his own "rebuttal" book about this life. When it drops down from $30 to a lot less, I might buy it. Apparently he writes his own description of the book. "There once was a bookseller from Kabul" I believe the title to be. He appears to be very angry over Ms. Seierstad's book.
