Love and War in Afghanistan Entry 1

So I read the first section of Love and War in Afghanistan and I actually got really into it. I honestly was surprised at how easy it was to read. I felt it gave me an insight into the life of an Afghan woman, a perspective you do not always get. Anisa is a very strong woman and I like that she went further with her education, which most women did not get a chance to. This also meant that I was very pleased that her family supported her decision and did not force her to marry. This book really gave me a cultural insight to Afghanistan and I enjoyed learning from the book. I have really felt that I have gotten to know Anisa's character and feel for her in her challenging situation. I feel bad that she lost her husband to the war, on top of being moved around the country for many years and having to take care of her children mostly by herself. I am looking forward to reading more and seeing where her life takes her and I hope her life takes a turn for the better and that her money troubles improve because I feel that she deserves it.
