heidichanel's review against another edition
5.0
I'm not doing very well lately and reading is a nice distraction, but this book tore out my heart. Probably should have waited on this one, I've been crying for the last few chapters.
Extremely beautiful, but so much pain and suffering. I appreciate learning about the war and seeing what life in Afghanistan was like over the years, Islamophobia is all too real and it's time we get that over with.
I'm gonna read The Kite Runner now too.

I did like the writing and all the information you get on Afghanistan and its history. It was more detailed than in The Kite Runner and more depressing since the characters actually spend the whole book there. And you get to see it through the eyes of women, who were mostly affected by all the changes in the country.
