This book was beautifully written, and a powerful expression of how war and the Taliban's regime in Kabul impacted two women with different backgrounds and hopes. The emotion and tragedy was captured with so much depth that I really wasn't sure I'd be able to finish this one. It's a hard read but an important one.
