If anyone has any doubt in just what low esteem women are held under Islam, just read A Thousand Splendid Suns. I've never seen a story struggle so hard to find a happy ending. What hell it would have been to live in Afghanistan in the last 45 years.
The author definitely made me care about the characters and these people. He also kept me guessing quite a while as to why there seemed to be two main characters.
