Ok, I had to document my first read since...college! I have only tried to read a few books, but never get into them. I LOVED this book!!
It is a story about true friendship, love, sacrifice and oppression. What I especially like about this book is that it is written through a woman's perspective, her emotions, sacrifice and fears. I'm a pretty smart girl, I like to tell myself, but I can't seem to wrap my mind around the middle east. This book, though fiction, helped me get a grip of major events in the last 30 years of Afghanistan. The author has painted an honest picture of Afghan life, life altering circumstances and a country destroyed by war. I would strongly suggest to read this book if you haven't.
