I think the book is difficult because it offends my "western feminist sentiments." Otherwise, I do find it well written, lots of imagery and metaphor, etc. Also, it is a portrait of life back around WWII. I've read worse (more repressive or violent) tales from behind the veil. I appreciate that it stretches my mind and forces me to contemplate strict Muslim seclusion/morals/values, etc.
Oh, am I supposed to save this for the book night get together? ::sheepish grin::
Thursday night sounds great, let me know when to meet you there.
