Publisher Description

Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to Kabul to marry Rasheed. Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a local teenager, Laila, as strong as the ties between mother and daughter. When the Taliban take over, life becomes a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear. Yet love can move a person to act in unexpected ways, and lead them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with a startling heroism.

Heavy

This one is a tough read! Struggled to finish it, as a woman, the reality was too much to digest. The plot was triggering, heartbreaking and realistic. From first page to last, my heart was aching, too much pain. Well, reality of the world is always unbearable. When I finished the book, I felt like coming from a long journey. The book was painful because it is written so beautifully that the reader will start to feel being an audience of the horrors. A brilliant book but tough read for softies !
