One of my favorite books and why I learned Dari. I actually have a copy of the book in Persian. I will re-read it again someday.
What a gorgeous, heartbreaking book. Just beautiful. There's so much here about the history of Afghanistan and the changing roles of women and interpersonal relationships. Just wonderful and sad.
