Miriam would have loved Barbie

This book gave me the same vibes in that the message as Barbie. 

I was so frustrated though everytime  about the women in Afghansitan’s treatment & livelihood at the time consdering itms devoling now in 2023 as the Taliban have regained control. I found myself desperately wishing for things to be better for alll women and for Rasheed to stop that I was so proud of Miriam for doong what she did. 

Miriam’s mother had some impactful quotes that made me understand & feel that deeper connection between mother and daughter.

Laila and Tariq had a beautiful love story & I’m glad that he accepted both her children in the end and that they lived well together.  

I leave you with this quote:
“Tell her that, she is the noor of my eyes and sultan of my heart”
