This is such a moving book, and I couldn't put it down. It's a quick read, but it's a good one. I'd definitely recommend it, and it was only after I'd finished it and looked at the description here on goodreads that I realised it's part of a series so I might read some of the other books in it if I get the chance.

Más hambre, más miedo y más trabajo. Esto es Afganistán.

I really enjoyed having a sequel to The Breadwinner Trilogy available to me. This particular novel in the series offered an interesting perspective of how so many factors - even the UN troops - affected everyday life as many Afghan people were trying to rebuild their lives and education. And, as is present in all of the previous three books, there is always the hope of Paris!

The writing is engaging and I flew through this book. I liked the way it alternated between past and present, leading up to why Parvana is where she is. I would like to go back and read the previous novels in this series, though I didn't feel lost reading the last book first.

This was my favorite book in the series. It tied everything together so well and packed a punch all its own.

পারভানা সিরিজটা যেন হুট করেই শেষ হয়ে গেল। শেষের দিকটা বড্ড তাড়াহুড়ো! কিন্তু চিন্তা করে দেখলে বোঝা যায় আর তো নতুন কিছু লেখার নেই। হাজার হাজার পারভানা এভাবেই ঘুরে বেড়ায় যুদ্ধবিধ্বস্ত জন্মভূমিতে। ভাগ্যক্রমে দেশের সীমানা ছেঁড়ে বের হয়ে আসতে পারলেও তারা জানে তাদের নিয়তি। তাদের পথে কত কে ছিটকে পরে, কত কাকে মাটির নিচে রেখে আসতে হয়। এই গল্প চলতেই থাকে, চলতেই থাকে।
