Query: An excellent read

I hesitated to start this book, what with having just read the magnificent, A Thousand Splendid Suns. But I read the first chapter and was hooked - she opens with the story of her good friend's wedding, a typical arranged marriage, and then flips back in time a few years to her rash decision to join a humanitarian team flying into Afghanistan just after the fall of the Taliban. This story is so different from the media depiction of Kabul - Ms Rodriguez fully immersed herself in the culture, and so her story is not of Afghans but of human beings, some in insufferable circumstances, trying so hard to live their lives and regain their humanity.
