Maryam was only fifteen when she was sent to Kabul to marry Rashid. Nearly two decades later, a friendship develops between her and a teenager from Kabul named Laila, a friendship as strong as that between a mother and her daughter. When the Taliban seizes power, life turns into a struggle. Desperate against starvation, brutality, and fear.But love can move people to act in unexpected ways, and lead them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with astonishing heroism.The feeling of nostalgia, evoked by Khaled Hosseini's novel, is captivating and all-encompassing: a passionate search for love, family, home, acceptance, a healthy community, and a future promising, regardless of the obstacles.The novel transcends borders and contributes to identifying the people and culture of a region that has been forcibly thrust into the international spotlight.
