 I want more from this author! October 20, 2008
Ive read Kite Runner before this and finished this book in 2 days. You just get so into the characters and feel for them: hate, disbelief, happiness, sadness, relief, because it all seems so well written, like it could be a true story. Also, through the story of two women you see what life in Afghanistan can be like, a hell for people who have seen so much death in war, which is sad because it once used to be a peaceful and beautiful place where people felt fairly safe. This story makes me feel lucky that I live in a place where Ive never had to go through anything like this! The story is indeed bittersweet, and there are many surprises which make you keep turning the pages. I love the writing style, just as I did in the Kite Runner and I can't wait until Khaled Hosseini comes out with a new novel!
Beautiful... September 23, 2008
A beautufully written book. I particularly enjoy how it was two stories that eventually blended into one. The horror that these women endured truly hit a nerve with me. Many sad moments, but many joyful ones that put a smile on my face. I still enjoyed The Kite Runner more, but this is definitely another fantastic book for the author. A must read.
 I was blown away! July 14, 2008
After reading the kite runner, I didn't think the author could meet the same standards. Maybe it's because I didn't expect much , but I loved this book. I think this might be the quickest I have ever read a book!
Great story telling. I highly recommend.

This book broke my heart. How do these women manage to live their lives? Hosseini's book gave me a better sense of the historical turmoil that the country has endured, and what seems to be insurmountable difficulties faced in trying to bring about change. How little I have to complain about in my comfortable western world life.

VERY VERY GOOD! May 17, 2008
This is one you do not want to miss. It is a well written, gripping story about the suffering and loss of an afghan girl/woman. It is really beautiful. This easily ranks among the best books I have ever read. Hosseini is a splendid writer!
