Compelling. So many adjectives I could use to praise this book. A tragic story & sad but such is life in Afghanistan. The suffering women & children especially went though & are still going through. Unbeleivable tale & to think it's based on fact's. Hosseini is an awesome author & The Kite Runner was so good too. Had to give this one 5 stars. It can be a difficult read, however it captivated me & had to read it in a day! Not much sleep. The story will stay with me forever. I can't say I would recommend it for my book club, as there is so much sadness in it, some of the gals don't like to read dispair. I say it is a must read & children in high school should read this & see how nice we have it here in America.
