What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I was reading it last year on a vacation and forgot about it and really trying to find it again.

The book starts with a man traveling to a place (middle east?) where he grew up - fell in love - place name starts with a K? Currently, it is extremely poor and women are killing themselves for some mysterious reason.

Would be great to find the name of the book!

Snow? I have read only few pages from the beginning, but I think it matches.

Ah thank you! Yes!
