I am so sorry but this book was just too painful to read through but I do have to say, what I like abt Khaled Housseini’s writing is that it is satisfyingly tolerable

I read this book immediately after I finished 'the kite runner' and I think that is why I did not like this one as much. It did not feel as 'new' to me.
