After the Taliban's withdrawal in 2002, journalist Asne Seierstad lived in Kabul with the family of bookseller Sultan Khan. The book portrays daily life in an Afghan home, the world of women, relations between men, and a society divided between tradition and modernity, marked by war and hope.

A book for readers of narrative journalism and chronicles about Afghanistan; its portrayal of family life works well for reading groups.
