Read it a few years ago and it has always stuck with me, found it recently at the back of a bookshelf and reading it again. About a young girl growing up in the remote areas of Afghanistan, being forced into an arranged marriage and then finding her way in the world. Not too soppy or romantic but realistic would suggest that everyone read it.

Decent but not for me
I get that I am not the target market for this incarnation of Captain Marvel. This collection is split roughly in three. The story surrounding Chewie, with Rocket, was good, funny and well written. The second story, trying to save a rock star from an arranged marriage, was tedious drivel (similar to volume 1's Phantom Menace trade negotiations rubbish), and the third was slightly more what I would have expected from Marvel, a villain's attempt to take over New York.
A good collection for a character that some might really love, but definitely not my cup of tea.
