i'm not the voracious reader who is entitled to give recommendations. Its strange though being an arbit reader (note the word 'arbit'), I was drifting towards non-fiction as the genre to catch on to. But this book proved me wrong -- and this is after unsuccessful attempts, of late, at reading 'Choker Bali' and similar novels....
Borrowing from the official site, this book is 'An epic tale of fathers and sons, of friendship and betrayal, that takes us from the final days of Afghanistan’s monarchy to the atrocities of the present'.
A critic says - "A wonderful work... This is one of those unforgettable stories that stay with you for years. All the great themes of literature and of life are the fabric of this extraordinary novel: love, honor, guilt, fear redemption...It is so powerful that for a long time everything I read after seemed bland." ......... I couldn't agree more.
get a copy. Lets see what some of you 'voracious' readers have to say :)
