Book: "Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini
In
his debut novel,
The Kite Runner,
Khaled Hosseini manages to provide an educational
and eye-opening account of a country's political
turmoil--in this case, Afghanistan--while also
developing characters whose heartbreaking struggles
and emotional triumphs resonate with readers long
after the last page has been turned over. This book
puts a name and face to the people we are helping to
free. This is a book at once so magnificent,it is
difficult to comprehend and describe. How could we
be fighting for freedom in this far off land,
Afghanistan, and not understand the people; their
heritage, their land and what they lost? (Amazon.com

Book: “Four Spirits: A Novel,”
by
Sena Jeter Naslund
The
author of Ahab's Wife (Morrow, 1999), a feminist
corrective to Moby-Dick, has picked an equally
ambitious subject for this novel: the racial
injustice, hatred, and horror of Birmingham, AL,
circa 1963.The characters pivot around Stella
Silver, a white college student who is horrified by
the glee in her community when JFK is assassinated,
and who is moved to activism. In its authentic,
balanced evocation of daily life across a wide
spectrum of the black and white communities, this
novel justifies its length and measured pace, and
credibly renders the faith and courage that brought
redemption to a blood-soaked city. (Amazon.com
