    Well, it takes place in an era where the Taliban was taking over Afghanistan and one main character fled to Pakistan and America while another was killed by the government.

    Part of the ingeniousness of the book is that it takes a complex political history and maps it onto an individual story of friendship, betrayal, and jealousy.
