I was assigned to read this book 14 years ago for my honors English class. I decided to revisit it as an adult and can say that it made me quite emotional. It's a beautiful literary work that showcases the life of people who had very rough beginnings.

My favorite book of all time. Reading the stories of two women of different generations and upbringings in Afghanistan, I was blown away by Hosseini’s ability to convey what it is like to be a woman. Content warnings should be taken seriously. This book is difficult and raw, but it is also the most touching and tender book I have read

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.
