One of the best writers of our time. This book is poetry because of Hosseini’s beautiful style of writing. It will tear your heart in half like The Kite Runner did.

The moment Nabi wrote his letter this book became something completely different for me and it stayed like that till the end of it. I liked all these character lines interconnected, all these parallels between two sisters and cousins, mothers’ images, painful separation from parents, and just overall different life stories, too often hard and having sad endings. I wish I knew till the end the story of Iqbal’s son and his rich friend, and I wish I saw Pari helping him out with what she inherited. But it would definitely be too of happy end style. Anyways, it was undoubtedly good.

I’m always happy to pick up a Khalid Hosseini novel and I’m glad to say I loved this one as well BUT it just fell flat for me compared to the kite runner and a thousand splendid suns
