This book was both sad and heart warming. As someone who remembers September 11th, 2001 through the eyes of a 5th grader, and like most Americans, has their imagine of Afghanistan painted by what came after, it’s interesting to see the country from the other side. This book isn’t about 9/11 but it tells of life in Afghanistan through the years leading up to it and more importantly it’s a story of two women who have very hard lives, but through it all find love in each other.

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.
