SO well-written and emotional. my only critique, which isn’t really a critique but more of a preference, is that it was such a male-dominated book. i think part of that speaks to the patriarchal culture and vastly different experiences of men and women in a lot of Central Asian Muslim families, so I am looking forward to reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by the same author to get more of the female experience that I connect with more

I personally think most realistic fiction books aren't entertaining. Sure a lot are well written I just don't think they are fun to read.
This book was one of them. It isn't a book I would've picked on my own. It was well written though so minus personal preference there is nothing wrong with it.
Also if anyone is like, "Why did they put it wasn't diverse?" A story where most characters are part of the same minority is just as not diverse as one where most characters are not part of a minority.
