Little coffee shop of Kabul

Hi all
Hope you have enjoyed reading the little coffee shop of Kabul. Here are some questions for discussion on Tuesday evening I have selected them from the reading group questions at the back of the book.   See you on Tuesday.
Kaye

1. Who was your favourite character and why?

2. A working title for this novel was The Seventh Dove.  What does Halajan's story about the doves mean, and why does it have such a strong effect on Sunny?

3. 'Every character in the novel is hiding something' Do you agree with this statement?  Discuss each character's secrets and subterfuges.

4. Five women are at the heart of this novel. But what do you think of the representation of men?

5. What was the most shocking thing you learnt about life for women in Afghanistan?

Hi all.  Humble apologies from me. I have misplaced my notes from last book club meeting and know I put them somewhere safe. I will post as soon as I have found them. 
In the meantime we should all be reading 'The Little Coffee Shop of Kabul" written by Deborah Rodriguez. This book was Kay's choice and the next meeting will be at her house.  For those that wish to read the next book. It is "The Life of Pi" by Yan Martel chosen by Tahnee.
Sorry again.  Leslie
