Miriam and Laila’s stories and tragic and wonderful, and Hosseini is an extremely talented writer to have been able to make them so real and full of life across so much time in such a dense and devastating story. This novel is very beautiful. 

Mammy’s heart was like a pallid beach where Laila’s footprints would forever wash away beneath the waves of sorrow that swelled and crashed, swelled and crashed.
