Woah. . . mixed emotions here about the book. I bought it a while ago and never really got round to reading it. I like the India setting but as Chesilbeach points out; that setting was practically non-existent.
I loved a thousand splendid suns. . . but what I didn't like was how the author made Afghanistan look like a content place after the invasion of the US . Occupation is still occupation no matter who it is
