Alan Marshall, Daily Telegraph
`A view from inside the burqa of the nightmare of Afghanistan's
history over thirty years ... grippingly told'
Stephanie Cross, Daily Mail

suffering and endurance under the Taliban'

`Anyone whose heart-strings were pulled by The Kite Runner should
be more than satisfied with this follow-up'
Customer Reviews
Fantastic, sad, and eye opening
I have read The Kite Runner in 3 sittings and was left in a daze for days. As soon as I heard of this book by the same author I got my hands on this to fill the void left by the Kite Runner. It is addictive to read and I had to finish it to find out what happened at the end. I was left saddened and felt that I was going through a mourning process as the characters have left an effect on me. It is extremely sad that what women go through in this story is taking place still in reality, especially in this day and age.
Khaled Hosseini is a fantastic author and I hope he writes many more books to show the world what the people of Afghanistan are really going through because of war.
Fantastic Read
Loved it, and have passed it on or bought it for almost all the people I know.
What a load of Kabul
Yes really, it's a book chiefly set in Kabul - oh, and I also wanted to grab your attention. What a wonderful read this is - I actually finished it in two sittings. I won't bother to go into the story as it's already been very competently reviewed by loads of other people. I just want to say, do yourself a huge favour and read this book. Word of warning: Make sure you have a box of man-sized tissues close by and that you're wearing waterproof mascara.
Do yourself a double-favour and get The Book Thief by Markus Zusak at the same time. Life-changing reads.
