This is a timely and interesting novel with several important messages including, of all things, solar cooking solutions for Afghanistan. Sometimes you just don't have a clue about the simplest needs of people in faraway places.If you want to enjoy this, I think you really have to get into the mindset of reading it as if it were nonfiction.

What's interesting is the on-the-ground knowledge about the culture and current conditions in the country.
