This is a 5 star read for me even though the book was difficult to read because of how heartbreaking it was.
I learned a great deal about Afgan culture, I previously had almost zero knowledge about the political history and customs of the people. You can also see the hatred and bias people carry for people they deem as different. 
This was also a story about love, loyalty and courage, teaching the lesson that you can always change your path and that nothing is set in stone. You can take the parts of people who you look up to and immerse their ideals in your own self portrait.
