It is amazing how different life can be for others in different parts of this world. I truly appreciate my life in the US after reading this book and also The Kite Runner. You never realize how bad things can really be for others. While reading this book I developed so much empathy and sadness for Mariam and Laila. They are truly amazing and strong women to go through what they did. On the other hand, I was continually strucken with anger towards Rasheed and the government they had going on there. The amount of control they had towards others they thought less of was very disturbing. This is a beautifully written book and ends better than imagined. I highly recommend this book to read.
