Very beautiful and touching but quite disturbing story about two women's lives intertwining in war-torn Afghanistan. I read about the political and social climate of Afghanistan described in this book with a mixture of fascination and horror. At times you'll want to just break down and cry at the unfairness and cruelty of the character's lives. However, you'll then want to cheer for them once they find redemption.
