3.0
Despite popular opinion, I think this is Khaleds weakest book (from the 3 that I have read.) Maybe some was lost in translation (since I was reading in Norwegian) but the story didn’t grasp my heart like ¨The Kite Runner¨ or ¨ A thousand Shining Suns¨ (both 5 stars with ¨The Kite Runner¨ being my all time favourite book.)
When Pari and Abdullah finally reunited (which was expected and anticipated the entire book), it felt like it was too late. This is probably very realistic since an entire lifetime had gone by. Khaled Hosseini is my favourite author, but I should stick to reading him in English.
