Wow this book was a rollercoaster and very, very sad….too real almost. Full of Afghan culture, and really goes into social issues discussing wealth, class, displacement, war, tragedy…We see so many stories of different characters scattered throughout the book, some briefly hopeful and others just about the reality and inequality or the missing strings to ones life together in a neat bow. I feel sorry for all of the characters, especially dear hopeful, traumatised and strong Abdullah. I just wish, for my mental health at least, it ended on a slightest more joyous note.
