I thought the Kite Runner was informative and gorgeously written... This one was even more so! I am so grateful to learn from Khaled Hosseini's perspective.

I think this is the best book I’ve ever read. The author has the wonderful ability to evoke emotions, to portray the most cruel and unspeakable events and make you feel hopeful still, hopeful that everything will turn out okay.

trying and failing so hard to not bawl my eyes out. jesus christ. this book left me so broken but also so inspired. the events in this felt too close to what’s happening today and left me heartbroken. this book is honestly a must read for all. be prepared to cry a lot in this book. 5/5 stars
