Brilliant! — 27 weeks ago
I loved reading this book. It’s beautifully written. I couldn’t put it down. I enjoyed The Kite runner and I was really looking forward to reading Hosseini’s second book.
More than once I was moved to tears.
What kept coming back to me was, as much as this is fiction, this tale is based on real life incidents. And this is just one story, I can’t imagine the number of similar more tragic stories out there.
I found Mariam and Laila’s strength and friendship very inspiring.
