Valentine’s Day–a Holiday we take for granted. In spite of the traditional conservatives which make up the majority of Afghanistan, some Afghans celebrate Valentine’s Day. They deliver the message of love by sending flowers to their beloved ones and by expressing it via cell phone or the Internet.

“This is an absolutely fascinating insight into life in Afghanistan before the Soviet invasion and the rise of the Taliban. Fox brilliantly retells the story of Jo, a Peace Corps volunteer in Afghanistan. By the end of the book, I felt that I personally knew the volunteers and Afghans of Baghlan. My only minor issue was that it was perhaps a bit too long, but that did not take away from the impact of the book.”
