Pietro asked Nadia Hashimi:

I just finished reading your book and absolutely loved it. Thank you. Who have been your literary inspirations?

Nadia Hashimi So glad you enjoyed it! There are too many literary inspirations to list. I am inspired in some way by nearly every book I read. So here's an abbreviated list from my beloved bookshelves: Joyce Carol Oates, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Khaled Hosseini, Anita Amirrezvani, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Wally Lamb. Incomplete list, but it's a start!

Gloria asked Nadia Hashimi:

I wish the book would have ended with some factual information about women's progress in Afghanistan to-date. A mention of perhaps a trustworthy organization that helps with women's rights there would have been great. The comment on the 9-11 attacks was mentally provoking. Would you consider a 2nd book I touching on the Afghanistan's view of America, Americans, and our involvement in the war?
