Completed:
Earth and Ashes by Atiq Rahimi
A short but powerful masterpiece from Afghanistan. 4.5 stars Highly recommended reading for everyone, and very topical. This was my first experience reading Rahimi but I have his One Thousand Rooms of Dream and Fears my library and will be reading it soon. Then The Patience Stone when I acquire a copy.
