5.0

Amazing book, studied it for A level, absolutely adore Hosseini’s writing style. But fair warning, this book can be very graphic and content-heavy at times, will most likely make you cry. Make sure to check any trigger warnings before you decide to read, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants an authentic insight into life in Afghanistan both before and after their conflicts.

“For you, a thousand times over”
i cannot talk about this book without tearing up.

“There is only one sin. and that is theft... when you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth.”
“It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime.”
“There are a lot of children in Afghanistan, but little childhood.” 
"Children aren't coloring books. You don't get to fill them with your favorite colors."
“Time can be a greedy thing-sometimes it steals the details for itself.” 
“I'm so afraid. Because I'm so profoundly happy. Happiness like this is frightening...They only let you this happy if they're preparing to take something from you.”
