Book recommendation Afghanistan

I recently read Khaled Hosseinis second novel from Afghanistan, A Thousand Splendid Suns, which I really appreciated! For once a novel from Afghanistan carries a glimmer of hope also, despite the poverty and lack of opportunity that permeates the people depicted. I also saw this review of it, from Aftonbladet, so apparently it's translated to Swedish also. It is quite interesting actually, how much more, both literature and non-fiction, is translated into Swedish, compared to only 10 years ago or so.

You can also see Khaled Hosseinis first novel, The Kite Runner.

Wednesday update: the Swedish translation can be purchased from the webshop of the Swedish Committee for Afghanistan.
