false 2892207 2 From the critically acclaimed author of <i>Rules of the Wild, </i>a thrilling, timely, and darkly funny story of friendship, human frailty, and war--and the role of outsiders in a country where they do not belong.<br><br>Maria Galante--rule-abiding, shy, a perfectionist--and larger-than-life journalist Imo Glass are on assignment in Afghanistan: Imo to interview girls who've attempted suicide rather than be married off to older men, Maria to photograph them. But in a culture in which women shroud their faces and suicide is a grave taboo, to photograph these women is to dishonor--and perhaps endanger--them. Maria and Imo must find their way among spies, arms dealers, and mercenaries, and through the back alleys of Kabul and into Pashtun villages, where the fragility of life stands out in bold relief. Before the assignment is over, Maria will have to decide if it's more important to succeed at her work--and please Imo--or to follow her own moral compass.<br><br>Stunningly evocative and richly observed, <i>The End of Manners</i> is a story of friendship and loyalty, of the transformative power of journeying outside oneself into the wider world. 2918463 20 5 2008 The End of Manners: A Novel total:90|5:12|4:36|3:32|2:7|1:3| 90 317 171 27 4 2 false false Sat Oct 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 30 08:43:08 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 05 10:58:55 -0700 2008 more...]]> 1 0 false false Thu Jul 16 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 24 11:35:58 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 10:19:04 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Aug 12 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 11 17:20:39 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 12:27:54 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Jan 31 09:17:41 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 09:19:27 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 14:11:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 14:14:50 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Nov 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 21:12:08 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 03 21:18:16 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Mar 05 06:37:51 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 11 22:35:25 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Oct 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Mar 27 09:14:14 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 09:15:36 -0700 2009
