"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.

Works Exceptionally well without feeling like you just applied Super Glue to your Body.
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: Cool Down Lotion
I would provide a picture of the bottle but TSA took mine. This is some of the best post sunburn lotion I have ever used. I just finished writing a review of a sunblock lotion that did a great job, what I did not mention was the only sunburn I got was on my lower back where I didn't apply that lotion. It was a pretty uncomfortable burn, especially when I tried to sleep in the forward berth of a sailboat, or when I tried to wear swimming trunks with an elastic type waist, thankfully I had a couple of sets of board shorts that alleviated that irritation. But back on point. What I like the most about this lotion is how it applies. Usually, in the past, I did not like using aloe lotions because I felt like it was like glue when it dried on my skin and I felt like it made my skin feel tight. This stuff applies extremely well and I'm not exaggerating one bit when I say the relief is IMMEDIATE. As soon as I applied it to my sunburn, I felt immediate relief! It also doesn't feel like you just spread a bunch of super glue on your burn when it dries. It absorbs into your skin, cools your "hot spot" and doesn't leave a residue to get onto your clothing, or onto the mattress in my berth on the sailboat. Win and win. I can't recommend this product enough. The only negative experience was when TSA snagged my bottle going through security in Miami because I forgot to put it in my checked bag. But that was just the good ol' TSA doing their job in the amazing way they always do. (sarcasm dripping sounds) It works so well that I bought a replacement. So I would recommend purchasing the 3 oz tube if you plan on traveling with it. This is an excellent product, I'm not sure how long it lasts, because I forgot my sunburn was nothing me, or it enabled me to fall back asleep after applying. It does have that coconutty smell, but it's not like I just spent 3 hours in a hot tub filled with coconut oil. Hmmm... Idea forming... Anyway, purchase with confidence, this Texan who got a sunburn on his lower back and treated it with Sun Bum approves this message.

Travel size products, best sunscreen out there.

Great as always but picture is misleading a bit, this is the small travel size bottle not the full size. I should have read better, still like the set nonetheless of course. Heres a picture for comparison.
