One of my favorite books and why I learned Dari. I actually have a copy of the book in Persian. I will re-read it again someday.
What a gorgeous, heartbreaking book. Just beautiful. There's so much here about the history of Afghanistan and the changing roles of women and interpersonal relationships. Just wonderful and sad.
Not quite as good as Kite Runner, but that may be because they are of a similar nature and I read Kite Runner first. The old Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead effect.
At any rate, certainy worth reading.
This was a wild ride. A few tears were shed. Really well-written. <3
