This was very disappointing. The story sounded intruiging on the back cover but it didn’t grab me at all. The story is set in Afgahnistan and tells of a house in the country where several people arrive seeking various things. Some of the images are quite wonderfully descriptive and thought provoking but I found the discussion of war a little too confronting and uncomfortable. It was almost like the book couldn’t decide whether to be an action thriller or a gentle novel.
