A symphony of suffering, resilience and sacrifice, where love blooms in the bloodied soil of Kabul and the strength of women becomes the brightest light in a broken world.
“One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs, or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls.”
“Of all the hardships a person had to face, none was more punishing than the simple act of waiting.”
“Learn this now and learn it well, my daughter: Like a compass needle that points north, a man's accusing finger always finds a woman.”
“Marriage can wait, education cannot.”
“She was leaving the world as a woman who had loved and been loved back.”
“A man's heart is a wretched, wretched thing. It isn't like a mother's womb. It won't stretch to make room for you.”

I read this one a long time ago but I remember loving it. I think it's the only book that's made me sob consistently throughout the whole thing?
Usually books that make me cry (like my precious harry potter) will have one event near the end that has me weeping like crazy but with this one it was like every hundred pages I'd be losing it.
