The Bookseller of Kabul (Åsne Seierstad), about an Afghani family, family stories and events learned while she lived with the family, only three of whom shared a language with her
The Newlyweds (Neil Freudenberger), a novel of a Bangladeshi woman who meets a Rochester man online and marries him; cultural adjustments on both sides aren't easy
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Agatha Christie), the classic murder mystery that I hadn't read years ago
High Stakes (Dick Francis), not-quite-murder mystery that I hadn't read years ago
The Places In Between (Rory Stewart), by a Scotsman who walked across Afghanistan (well, from Herat to Kabul) in 2002, following in the footsteps of Emperor Babur
