"Marriage can wait, education cannot"

Reading this book broke my heart into a thousand pieces. The emotions described in a way that is so raw and pure, The description of war-torn Afghanistan is so heart wrenching.
An important and must read for everyone.

"There are a lot of children in Afghanistan, but little childhood.”

Possibly the best Khaled hosseini book

But this one was just dynamic heartfelt and fantastic no matter how much I rant over it it would never be enough
