Emotional, dark and sad, uncovering all the depressing stories nestled within Afghanistan following the war.
A novel covering the stories of the different generations of a single family, some left a more lasting impact than others, but reading it gave me a better understanding of the turmoil of the Afghan people, as well as greater insight into the geopolitical climate of the region at the time.
Hosseini never fails to deliver his poignant stories of family, love, loss and his everpresent representation of his homeland.
