It seems I am something of a hit in the UK. First, the excerpt in the New York Post almost immediately appeared across the pond in the Daily Mail (UK). Today, The Lady magazine (Britain's oldest weekly women's magazine, published since 1885!), described An American Bride in Kabul as "a harrowing personal history that reads like a novel…(Chesler's) fluid, evocative style and use of the present tense make you feel like you are the young bride herself, taking in the city's sights, sounds, and smells. This is a study of women's rights and the psychology of Afghan culture."

Thank you ljewoma Onweluzu—this reviewer really "got" my book. Well, almost. I was never forced to wear a burqa. Can you imagine me doing so?
Today, I am also in the UK's Jewish Telegraph in an interview which pretty much got everything right. This is the first reviewer who noted that I write about Afghanistan's alliance with Hitler's Nazi regime; and that Afghanistan had sheltered Nazis after the Second World War. Thank you Simon Yaffee.
