A story about friendship and hope amongst the war. Khaled Hosseini writes beautifully and mesmerisingly with a heart wrenching story. My initial thought early on in this book is “trauma porn”. To a certain extent, i still think that it is true but i am happy and satisfied with how things ended.
Graphic: Physical abuse, Suicide, and War
Moderate: Emotional abuse
