I put off reading this because, when it was published, I felt strongarmed into reading either about Iraq or Afghanistan by glaring twits at dinner parties. Now I feel free to read it and am shocked about how positively it was received by some. The novel is brilliant. But the truths it tells about racism against Hazaras, and Nazi influence on Islamists' thinking, surely can't have sat well with dinner party moralists.
