I found Sparks Like Stars hard to put down. This was not as engaging a read. While I wanted to know what happened to the main characters, it was slower and I’m getting tired of the back and forth story lines. Still I felt I learned something about women’s lives in Afghanistan and I was often infuriated at their treatment
