This author was born in Kabul, leaves Afghanistan and Pakistan to join the France where he obtained political asylum, because of the war.
In 2008 he won the Prix Goncourt for this book.
When you have finished reading it, one can easily understand the reason for the price ...
This is a poignant story. The story is short, takes place one dangerous place, "somewhere in Afghanistan or elsewhere" as the author says, and describes the actions and feelings of a woman making sure her husband injured ...
The sentences are short, simple rhythm and passing time with incredible force. The time seems long, every minute endless. It's amazing!
The woman is seen as a slave, then it is free and shows us the dark side of her private life. It becomes stronger as his tongue was loosened ...
most disturbing is to imagine that he is a man who could write, describing the intimacy of this woman!
By cons, a little disappointment at the end ... in my opinion only ...
to you to read!
