I enjoyed this book very much, Kaled Hosseini is a great storyteller! This is a gripping tale of two Afghani women whose lives become intertwined through various events in their lives. They each are raised in very different environments but realize that at the heart of it all, they are very much alike and the bond between them runs the course of so many relationships. What happens to these two, both separately and together, is both touching and heart-wrenching, and shows the heart's enduring capacity to go on and how love can see one through the most horrific of circumstances. It also sheds light on the lives of women in this culture and how they are denied most rights that we take for granted, and are treated like property and not people. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.
