Book Description | Publisher's Description: Mariam was only fifteen when she was sent to Kabul to marry Rashid. Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a young girl from Kabul, a friendship as strong as the bond between a mother and her daughter. When the Taliban seize power, life turns into a desperate struggle against famine, brutality, and fear. But love can move people to act in unexpected ways, leading them to overcome the most terrifying obstacles with amazing heroism. A profound novel full of events and details saturated with human feelings. Hosseini was able to depict the suffering of women, and how their rights and lives were stolen by their husbands or by their families or even through war, and how women were able to be patient and endure all of that. He also depicted political and historical events in an accurate and unforgettable dramatic way. Quotes: -Some things I can teach you, and some things you learn from books, but there are things that must be seen and felt. -A society has no chance of success if its women are uneducated. -Of all the hardships one faces, nothing is more difficult than the simple act of waiting. |
