The Bookseller of Kabul

It is always fascinating to get an idea of how other cultures view things. In this case it's the treatment of women. I don't need to go into detail of how women are treated in other countries with respect to women in the United States. While our nation has had a history, in no way has it ever been as bad as in Afghanistan. Some of the traditions in Afghanistan would not stand in the United States. In Afghanistan, parents choose your spouse for you on the basis of their social status, in America that just does not happen. I look forward to the discussion on this book.

  1. I agree. These things would never last in the United States because of the changes we've made to survive today.
