Reader recommendation: The Favored Daughter

Monitor readers share their favorite book picks.

The Favored Daughter: One Woman鈥檚 Fight to Lead Afghanistan into the Future by Fawzia Koofi is more than a book about one woman鈥檚 efforts to survive in a wartorn country, although it is that. It is also a heartwarming account of a family鈥檚 love for one another and an upclose and personal account of a country鈥檚 culture, informed by the author鈥檚 deep love for her聽nation and her courageous efforts to help her people. Koofi's story聽is gripping, engaging, and deeply enriching. The book helped me to gain聽a better understanding and appreciation of Afghanistan and聽its people.
