The Bookseller of Kabul by Asne Seierstad

Recommended by JoAnn
958.1 SEI

Norwegian journalist Seierstad spends three months living with a bookseller and his family after the Taliban's fall in Kabul, Afghanistan. They are middle class and literate, unlike most, and yet their living conditions and daily lives are miserable. The utter hopelessness of life is especially painful for the women. An international bestseller worth reading.
