Title: Tightly Woven Tale
Review: This tightly woven tale invokes sympathy and sorrow over the people of Kabul suffering under the Taliban---and women under their burquas. The tale is interwoven between Atiq Shaukat the prison guard and his ill wife Musarrat and Mohsen Ramat and his once progressive wife Zunaira. We know the two stories will eventually collide and Khadra does this skillfully so that it does not feel forced or contrived. I picked up this book because it was initially compared to a favorite of mine-The Kite Runner. For me, the comparison was misleading statement because it is not the same type of story other than the fact that the characters all fall under the harsh regime of the Taliban. This book stands on its own and is helpful to those of us not there in understanding the painfulness of a life left behind for one that is now under a Taliban regime.
