This for me is a masterpiece that tells a story of a world that is so otherly than what we know. We could not imagine the atrocities these people have to endure every single day. It's a story we read, that's moves us to tears and fuels the rage inside of us. To realise that all the thing you read is a horrible reality that people ought to live every day.
This book is amazing in bringing perspective in a complicated subject like this one. To shine light on the different aspects that play a role in the lives of the people that where born and raised in a country where freedom is something very fragile. Where you as a woman are denigrated, mistreated and kept small. Stripped from everything form of individuality. Wich for men in a world like that is also something that is hard to go up against. It's a world where you are expected to fulfill your duties to the best of your ability.
I think it's important to read this book because it's an subject that unfortunately is still very relevant. I don't think many people care to read more into the subject at all and just have there prejudices about people fleeing there motherland. It's the violance they see in the news that passed their judgement. Not all the sorrow and the abuse these people had to endure.
And to all the people living this story; You are resilient, strong and so courageous. That you all get to live the lives we so blatantly take for granted and get the blessings you wish for.

I'm not doing very well lately and reading is a nice distraction, but this book tore out my heart. Probably should have waited on this one, I've been crying for the last few chapters.
Extremely beautiful, but so much pain and suffering. I appreciate learning about the war and seeing what life in Afghanistan was like over the years, Islamophobia is all too real and it's time we get that over with.
I'm gonna read The Kite Runner now too.
