Thank you, Nazanin!! Every time I see this book in a bookstore I get chills. It's so good!

Gorgeous review!! The book wrecked me too. What actually hurts is that although it's fictional, such events actually happened then and it's totally heartbreaking.:'(

@Breeze exactly! that's what did it in for me, i can't imagine the suffering that Afghan women had to go through

This is such a beautiful review 💛 I loved this book as much as I hated it. I feel both ends of the spectrum, extreme love and extreme hate. It's so brutal, poignant, unrelenting, and hopeful. This is the most human book I've ever read. I ache for Mariam and rejoice for Laila. Years after reading this, it's still one of my top favourites!

I still haven't got myself to read this one after all these years ...someday soon

Also wonderful review! (I kinda read only few lines since I like to go in blind and try to enjoy it haha)

@Bhavik you should read this asap!!! do let me know when you start it, i'm excited to know what you think!! and thank you 😊

I wonder about the fact how every one feels sad after reading this , what will become of my own heart 🙈

Yeah sure ! Will let you know :)

I finished reading the book a couple of hours ago and came over to the reviews section just to gauge how others felt about it.

Your review comes very close to how I felt about the book, the characters and especially Mariam. You are spot on in saying that she has to be one of the saddest characters in literature. Yet as you rightly pointed out, her stoicism and resolve in the face of so much adversity and cruelty was absolutely amazing and also subtly heroic in a way. Only a woman would be able to possess such magnanimity, heart and grace under such dire circumstances. And I was a wreck too while reading...

I will just add that my favorite passage was when Laila visits Mariam's kolba and imagines her childhood there...what a tribute to another person. Beautiful.

Thanks again for your review which really echoed with me.

Happy reading 💛
