This book made me catch my breath. The lives of two women, two very different women, under the suffering of a male-dominant Taliban society in Afghanistan are woven together in a story that will strike your heart. The book is poignant, simply relating events that the two women go through. I was astounded by the writing, the emotion behind every simple act. I have never known pain or suffering like this, and when I finished the novel I was overwhelmed by a feeling of gratitude and optimism.
Who would enjoy this? Those familiar with Hosseini's "The Kite Runner" will appreciate his similar writing style.
