Description
Yazmina’s situation is truly pitiable and I have to admit I didn’t realise the difficulties that widows faced as well.
She has hired Afghan men and women as workers, but despite the conditions of Kabul, they are tolerant of the Westerners, to a point. It was so interesting and the fact that it was fiction made me aware of how powerful a story can be, whether true or not. Registered address: Unit 31, Vulcan House Business Centre, Vulcan Road, Leicester, LE5 3EF, United kingdom. in " The BookBrowse Review" - BookBrowse's membership magazine, and in our weekly " Publishing This Week" newsletter. It also offered an insight of what it was like for those who left Afghanistan and had to adjust to life in new countries.If you have made it all the way through question six and you are still nodding your head, then A Cup of Friendship is the book for you.
The first two involve a doctor specialising in obstetrics and women’s health as Afghanistan has one of if not the highest rate of women dying in childbirth in the world. The author did an excellent job of bringing forth the ongoing problem of the oppression of women in Afghanistan. As the plot evolves, Rodriguez has some of her female Western characters, Sunny's friends, visit Afghan women who are in prison with their babies incarcerated alongside them. He’s younger than her and her thoughts are mostly preoccupied with how different things must be for them now that they’re back in his country and why he doesn’t seem as into her as he did previously.But much has changed since her last visit, and with US troops about to withdraw from Afghanistan, Sunny is worried for the safety of her friends, but they dismiss her concerns, sure that the Taliban won’t regain control. It deas with some pretty gritty topics as well, which adds something to the book and moves it away from the chick-lit genre it would otherwise be placed in. Do you like your main characters to be women who break down their own doors when necessary, women-who-don't-put-up-with-bad-stuff, women who don't wait for Prince Charming to come visit their castle but who may actually ride out and knock on castle doors themselves?
