Books we are reading
February 11th, 2009 Posted by Catherine Neill

As we try to learn more about the culture and history of Afghanistan and Rwanda, the staff at IEEW share with each other books we’ve read – whether non-fiction or novels – about these countries.  We wanted to share a few of those titles with you:

  • A Thousand Splendid Suns by Kahled Hosseini
  • The Kite Runner by Kahled Hosseini
  • We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with our families – Stories from Rwanda by Philip Gourevitch
  • Left To Tell by Immaculee Ilibagiza with Steve Erwin
  • Kabul Beauty School - An American Woman Behind the Veil by Deborah Rodriguez with Kristin Ohlson
  • Living in Hell – A true odyssey of a woman’s struggle in Islamic Iran against personal and political forces by Ghazal Omid.
