<p>Recently read. Highly recommended. It was a required reading for a course D took at Brown. It is the first hand story of a college aged girl during the Taliban era in Afganistan. It’s quite moving and presents an insider’s view of the oppression of these regimes.</p>
<p>Thanks bandit. I am a world literature addict. Did you read Reading lolita in Tehran?</p>
<p>Another inside tour–this time from a woman who started out as an avid revolutionary.</p>
<p>I’m still working on that one. It was part of the same course, Modern Middle Eastern History at Brown. The lady that taught it was good friends of the lady that wrote Reading Lolita.</p>
