5.0

osseini certainly does not disappoint, once again proving to possess a magical skill with words – he is easily on track for becoming a favourite author of mine. An emotional tale depicting the strength of womanhood and of motherhood, persevering in the face of atrocity. I recommend this for absolutely anyone and everyone – a truly spectacular read.
