The Booksellers of Kabul

I recently read this book called "THE BOOKSELLERS OF KABUL" by norwegian Journalist Åsne Seierstad.It really touched me a lot. I should say I am not really a fan of reading Non-fiction content, but somehow took to this book. The story is about a bookseller called Sultan Khan in Kabul. It constrasts with other varieties of non-fiction and describes the average overview of Afghani life.It sort of focuses on the daily issues they face in the form of Afghani traditions , family models and the changes felt under the rule of USSR and Taliban abd the Balance they try to strike between Islam and Westernization
