This novel takes place in Afghanistan during the last 33 years of war within Afghanistan. This book is written and told through the lives of two woman named Mariam and Laila that never had a chance to experience happiness living in environment where there danger stood on every corner. I don't want to give away too much, but this novel was definitely a page-turner.
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe:
Just recently, I finished reading Things Fall Apart. The novel was set in Nigeria in a village called Umofia. The main character was named Okonkwo. He was very manly and feared showing any emotion. He always tried to be perfect and tried to maintain his great reputation, but in the end, he lost control of his thoughts and actions when European missionaries invaded Nigeria.
