I couldn't put this book down! Beautifully-written story of a girl who loses her family during a coup in 1978 in Afghanistan. The descriptions of the settings and the culture were so rich, it was easy to picture. Explorations of grief, PTSD, and the politics of the CIA interfering in foreign governments.
