Bookseller of Kabul

I loved The Kite Runner. It gave me an insider's look at life in a very foreign land, and allowed me to see that people there are not all that "foreign." The end disappointed me, but that was my only complaint.
So I was excited about The Bookseller of Kabul and started it with high expectations. It's been about a month now, and I still haven't finished the book. There are too many characters! The feminist angle irritates me. I wish that she had focused on one or two people, the youngest daughter, perhaps.
I will finish the book, then write more. Maybe by then it will all come together.
