Couldn't put this one down, a beautifully written and heart wrenching story. Having heard so much about Kite Runner I went to the library and ended up picking up this one instead...and was not disappointed.
Mariam and Laila are thrown together by war and form a bond that develops in the face of horrific circumstances. A quick warning: some of the violence depicted is pretty graphic, so this may not be for the faint of heart. I especially enjoyed how well Hosseini wrote the pysche behind his two main characters - both female...somewhat surprising coming from a male author.
Keep a box of tissues handy, this one will stay with you for a while.
