I loved the story and it was great to be able to listen to it on the bus. The speaker was wonderful. The only problem I had was downloading the first disc to my computer and then to my MP3 player. I was eventually able to fix the problem but it took some time. The other discs were fine.

Insightful look into the world of the Middle East, arranged marriages and the sacrifices made by women.

This is the kind of book that stays with you long after you have read it. The author is from Afghanistan (The Kite Runner) and he uses his deep knowledge of the country's traditions to weave an O'Henry-like tale of two women trying to survive their lowly place in society. You wil not be able to stop listening to this beautifully told story nor wait to see how it ends.
