Customer Reviews

Roseanne Klass's prose is like poetry.

An outstanding story told by an outstanding writer. I want to meet Rosanne Klass and listen to the voice that is behind one of the most beautiful styles and crucial messages in today's world. Her portraits of the people she knew in Afghanistan (especially Gul Baz) and her descriptions of that country are "poetry." Her explanations of customs and mores of the Afghanistan people are touching and informative, told from the point of view of a young teacher with an open mind. I highly recommend this book to everyone who wants to gain some understanding of the people who have lived in the rugged terrain of Afghanistan for centuries.

Personal eyes
