So, so good.
BestBooks is a record of all of the books that I have read since November 2004, with brief descriptions and reviews.
Things I don't like: magical realism, anachronistic feminists, sappy love stories, the trend of elderly protagonists, historical fiction, narratives split between past and present.
This book had all of the above -- and I loved it.

Very solid -- sometimes these northern European works are a bit too dark for me, but this was very enjoyable.

A decent romance, except that I am not sure whether setting it against the fall of Afghanistan is a great way to bring some big issues to new readers or just tacky.
