Disgruntled Reader

A Handful of Books
Just finished The Bookseller of Kabul. I'm not sorry that I read it, but I did not like the book. It felt like I was reading a thesis, on a topic that overwhelms and confuses me.
I enjoyed all of the dialogue. And I really liked the youngest daughter, the grandma, and the interpreter.

I thought Leila, the youngest daughter , was the most affecting character.

My co-worker disliked the book so much that he quit after reading 1/3 of it. He said he just can't understand the way the women are treated and found it difficult to keep reading about it.
