This is a very well written story that will make you feel as if you are right there in Afghanistan with the characters. It is a novel but it sure reads more like an audio-biography. This is a wonderful wonderful story.

this is a wonderful book- what was it like for two women to actually live through all the turmoil of Afghanistan- the sacrifices a mother makes for her family; how much sacrifice before you snap- how do you reconcile your dreams with the culture?

I was hooked on this book from the first chapter. Very sad, but couldn't wait to hear what would happen next. It was very enlightening also. Didn't realize how poorly women are still treated in other parts of the world. I would recommend. He is a GREAT author.

This book moved a little slow and was a bit depressing at first but things improved later in the book. I know more about life in Afghanistan now than I did before.

Khaled Hosseini's depiction of the lives and roles of women in Afghanistan's history is simultaneously breathtaking and heartbreaking. I listened to the on a road trip, and, on several occasions, wept openly for Mariam and Laila, two women who will live in my mind for a long time to come.
