        <description><![CDATA[The quote, &quot;...if it's a girl, Laila has already named her&quot; (Chapter 51), is the last line of the story.  Laila is pregnant, and is remembering a naming game her family had played the night before.  The game only involved boys' names, because if the baby is a girl, Laila already knows what she will name it - &quot;Mariam&quot;.By saving her from their brutish husband Rasheesh, then taking full responsibility for his death and in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I loved this book! I gave it to a colleague to read, hoping that with two teachers we could make a push and add it to the 10th grade reading list at my school. Unfortunately, we mostly read dead white guys because the school committee is afraid of &quot;new.&quot;]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[My class was a Pre-AP Lit course at the junior level in high school.  They took the class as a precursor to the AP monster.  I had a list of required readings and each grading period they were also required to read one off the independent readings which had about 20-30 choices.  Kiterunner was on that list for the theme of identity and how we become ourselves or get to know ourselves. Each student was then required a book share over the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I have heard this book is amazing.  It is on my stack of books by my bedside table waiting to be tackled.  I loved The Kiterunner, by the same author.  I taught that book in my Pre-AP Lit class, and it's so intriguing how kiddos who have such a strong opinion of the middle east and their ideologies make a complete turn-around!  We had a fascinating series of conversations...thanks for the review!  I may have to move the book up in the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[WOW ... I just finished this beautifully written book yesterday.  Many thanks to the author for the detailed descriptions of the Afghans (especially women) daily lives.  How we, as Americans, take for granted our freedoms!!!&#160;My heart literally ached - to only imagine - losing your parents and everything you know - then to be thrown into a marriage with a despicable man, who expects nothing less than utmost respect.  The...]]></description>
