Had no idea what I was stepping into. I only remembered that The Kite Runner was captivating. But this book - this grabbed me by the boo boo and held strong until the very last page.
Not an easy read, but I would call it an important one.
“Grieve not! Joseph gone astray
will find his way to Canaan.
From the cell where sorrows dwell
will spring a stand of flowers.
...
Home is fraught with danger,
journey's end out of grasp..
Grieve not! No path exists
which does not reach an end.”
(Hafez's “Joseph Gone Astray”)
