A beautiful and heartbreaking story. A little hard to get through because of the language barrier./translations, but I think it helped that I listened to it as an audiobook. The narrator had a middle eastern accent and explained the terminology. It was a detailed insight into the extreme realities of the lives of some if not many afghani women living in worn torn areas.
