The story continues, and it's just as enjoyable as it was in the first volume. Amir's family is still wanting to annul the marriage to her much younger husband, in order to marry her off to someone else, but her brother's beginning to question this decision... and rightly so, given what we hear of the new prospect's character. Other than this, the story mainly is what I think of as episodic information, in that it explores different aspects of the culture in question. The thing I found particularly interesting was the long chapter on cloth, and how embroidery patterns were passed down in families, giving a sort of history of women's art. It was really fascinating, and honestly I'm almost more interested in stuff like this than I am the ongoing marriage story in general.
