This is absolutely one of the BEST books I've ever read. I can't express in words what I felt after finishing it, how sad I feel for the women in Afghanistan, how grateful to realize how easy and good my life is, how the hunger for power of the powerful can destroy and completely demolish the life of common people. I cried my eyes out at different parts. I would definitely recommend this books to every books worms out there. Read at your own risk though (traumatically beautiful it is!!)
