This is a really good book. I can't believe that it was written almost 50 years ago and it surprised me to read about so many things in Afganistan that are still happening today. I've realized that the way things are done over there are not likely to change anytime soon...especially by U.S. "help". - TK
"In this romantic adventure of wild Afghanistan, master storyteller James Michener mixes the allure of the past with the dangers of today. After an impetuous American girl, Ellen Jasper, marries a young Afghan engineer, her parents hear no word from her. Although she wants freedom to do as she wishes, not even she is sure what that means. In the meantime, she is as good as lost in that wild land, perhaps forever...."An extraordinary novel....Brilliant."THE NEW YORK TIMES "
