Having never had the desire to read The Kite Runner, I was a little skeptical about picking up this one…what a surprise! This is a beautifully written book, full of love, history, tragedy, heart-break and survival. I could not put it down, so enrapturing were the characters. Afghanistan through the eyes of these two women was an amazing picture of real life and dedication. The sheer humanness of each character rivets you to your seat. The story travels through the rocky political history of the past 30 or so years, encompassing not only the news but the emotional responses of the people. A fascinating look at real life events through the eyes of the quiet observers – the women.
