4/5
What a gloriously heart-wrenching tale. As someone only familiar with the Afghanistan presented through US media, this was truly eye-opening.
To describe the injustice and cruelty that two extraordinary women endure (yes, the word "endure" could describe this book succinctly) was a huge task and one that Hosseini approaches with much grace and compassion.
Also good is the fact that empathy and camaraderie with these women is so easily felt by an average American woman like myself. I never once felt like an outsider even though that is exactly who I was.
I did love how I had exactly no idea where the story was taking me, but I was a very willing passenger and couldn't have been happier with the destination.
