Sparks Like Stars by Nadia Hashimi
5.0
“My mother had organized her literature collection in the order in which she’d read the books. She’d explained her reasoning to me once, her fingers running across the spines. I can retrace my steps this way, the stories that became part of me before I was a mother and those I read with you in my arms.”
This was my first Nadia Hashimi book, and I definitely can’t wait to read more. Ever since reading A Thousand Splendid Suns, I’ve been on a search for more books from a female perspective that take place during the same time period in Afghanistan… google sent me straight to Hashimi and did not disappoint.
This was a beautifully written story. My only complaint was the pacing. I much more enjoyed the first half than I did the second. I found the beginning of Part 2 to be a tad slow, though it did pick back up at the end.
