In the book:
Women must endure until the end. They are built to be the obedient one, the fragile one so that they must endure any kind of violences the society suppressed them about.
This isn’t about one side fight. Men should encourage and support women. There’s no win in this fight cause we are only human with different types of body, emotion, and mind. But we need to know, without good women, the world is corrupt. End the cycle.

Such a heartbreaking but beautiful story. For me, this is the best way to learn about the history of another culture - to see it through the eyes of the characters that are living it. Nothing can give you a truer picture of the suffering than experiencing it for yourself, through the pages of a book.

A moving story of two women in the most tragic of circumstances. With so many moving parts out of their control, it was so moving to see the journey that Miriam and Layla went on from childhood through to adulthood.

This book was an absolute roller coaster of pain. It was beautiful and horrendous and tragic and I'm still reeling

I enjoyed this book more than I liked The Kite Runner. Its a captivating read about what it is like to be a woman living in Afgahnistan.
