A thousand splendid suns

This book changed my views on the Middle East and how women are treated.  Before I read this book, I had an idea of what life was like in middle east, but I did not have any sympathy for the people there.  Reading this novel about a two women who endure the oppression during the Taliban Regime opened my eyes to the true brutality that their society entailed.  Sharia law completely dehumanized these women and it is despicable how the women are not protected by the law from domestic violence.
