review 1: I loved this book. Inspiring, personal. The author, Marianne Elliott, puts herself in a vulnerable place, both physically and emotionally, and reveals it all. The highs, lows, and the journey in between. I cried, I connected, I saw a glimpse into Afghanistan from a different perspective. Highly recommend this book for anyone interested in human conflict, human rights, development, and making a real difference in the world.
review 2: a quite intimate story of human rights aid work in Afghanistan..Marianne gives a clear picture of the variety of work being done there and how complex the problems are, and shares how she found a way to cope with the emotional intensity. i enjoyed the balance of the personal and the political. i've done Marianne's online yoga classe... mores and love her down-to-earth practical attitude, she does a great job making the reader feel at home in remote Afghanistan, and sharing her emotional struggles with frank grace. less
