Love this book, love this book, love this book!!! It is so much better than The Kite Runner, even though I enjoyed it as well. Maybe because it focused on Two women instead of two men, I related to it a little more. Heartwarming, and heartwrenching. Couldn't put it down, and cried at the last page. I think everyone should read this book at least once!

The poignantly sad story of two Afghani women whose lives are drawn together in marriage. This has a completely different tone and message than Hosseini's previous book, The Kite Runner. It made me grateful to live in the circumstances that I do and also more mindful of the women in the world who may not live that way.

I was ever so slightly disappointed. I think maybe I built it up too much in my mind. I heard so many great things about it that my experience reading it was a letdown. Very, very good book, though.
Highly recommend to anyone who enjoyed The Kite Runner or who is interested in understanding the culture of Afghanistan and the events of the past few decades in an incredibly engaging narrative.
The story here is pretty much heartbreaking, but very, very real. I couldn't put this book down and it inspired me to finally go pick up The Kite Runner by the same author.
