This book is so dull and so poorly written. There are so many other better books about women or families struggling under the Taliban. Some things were so unbelievable, about how BOOM in one day our character makes a dress and becomes a master seamstress. I think the fault of that lies with the story teller not the true story. The time lines read like a kids books, so simple, and dull. By page 104 of 234, Nothing much has happened, but she gets her second order for clothes.

Try some other books, because you will feel bad that you wasted your time. If you already know the basic story, you will be bored to tears. I was bored so I went and checked on some reviews on Amazon, because I didnt like the book, and needed to see if others agreed with me.
