"Surprisingly tender." -- The New York Times Book Review. Set in Kabul under the rule of the Taliban, this extraordinary novel takes readers into the lives of two couples: Mohsen, who comes from a family of wealthy shopkeepers whom the Taliban has destroyed; Zunaira, his wife, exceedingly beautiful, who was once a brilliant teacher and is now no longer allowed to leave her home without an escort or covering her face. Intersecting their world is Atiq, a prison keeper, a man who has sincerely adopted the Taliban ideology and struggles to keep his faith, and his wife, Musarrat, who once rescued Atiq and is now dying of sickness and despair.Desperate, exhausted Mohsen wanders through Kabul when he is surrounded by a crowd about to stone an adulterous woman. Numbed by the hysterical atmosphere and drawn into their rage, he too throws stones at the face of the condemned woman buried up to her waist. With this gesture the lives of all four protagonists move toward their destinies.
The Swallows of Kabul is a dazzling novel written with compassion and exquisite detail by one of the most lucid writers about the mentality of Islamic fundamentalists and the complexities of the Muslim world. Yasmina Khadra brings readers into the hot, dusty streets of Kabul and offers them an unflinching but compassionate insight into a society that violence and hypocrisy have brought to the edge of despair.

Not true to size
Size: 8, Color: (100) White/Pomegranate/Rush Red
The shoes are beautiful, same as the picture. Super comfortable and very lightweight, but wait to big, I’m a size 8 and bought a size 8 as usual, I never had any problem with the UA shoes before, this shoes are about 2 inches bigger on my feet. I will return them and order probably a size 6 & 7 to see which one fit better. That’s the only reason I’m not giving a 5 starts!!!!

Great fit, support and quality
Size: 6.5, Color: (101) White/White/Metallic Silver
I bought as a gift for my wife, she loves everything about them, the fit, support, and quality. These are to replace a pair of Under Armor shoes that served her well and lasted a long time.

Not a fashion statement, but the best for my feet
I’ve had these for a year & alternate between these & a pair of Nikes & they’re still in great shape. I tried just about every brand in my hunt for walking/light jogging sneakers, and for me, these were by far the most comfortable, even over $160 New Balances & expensive Diadora & ASICS…Adidas Ultraboost etc. Every foot is different - for me, different shoes press against the inner foot bone uncomfortably, and there’s no issue with that here. The sole is thick & cushiony which I find supportive, and my feet don’t feel overly compressed. There is a nice little bounce which each step. True to size. I’d recommend.
