I just finished the book A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. It is a story about two women living in Afghanastan in the last 30 years. And I use the word "living" loosely. It is certainly no where close to the term we mean when we say "living". These women struggled every day of their lives. They struggled with things we know nothing about: domestic violence, suppression of women and girls and lack of the basics (food, running water, medical care).
It is a quick read and well worth the time investment.
It seems timely that I read it right before Thanksgiving so that I can give extra thought to how much I am thankful for....
