I’ve owned this book for so long and I am so glad that I finally got to read it. This paints such a vivid picture of life in Afghanistan pre- and post-Taliban in beautiful and heartbreaking ways. Definitely one of the best historical fiction books I’ve ever read and I encourage anyone that is trying to diverse their reading to add this to their TBR.
