A beautiful and heartbreaking story. A little hard to get through because of the language barrier./translations, but I think it helped that I listened to it as an audiobook. The narrator had a middle eastern accent and explained the terminology. It was a detailed insight into the extreme realities of the lives of some if not many afghani women living in worn torn areas.

narcisa's review

dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

4.5

It's a bit harsh. Although it conveys the truth, it is hard to accept it.

This book is so sad omg. There needs to be more content warnings for this whole book. I did like it though, the characters were good and I felt i understood their thoughts and motivations for most of the book. That dad can rot and I hope he does.
