Perhaps many feel that this book has received too much attention - that it is "overhyped", however if there is any accuracy in the picture painted by Hosseini of the lives of women in Afghanistan, than everyone, men and women, should read it. I'm not a mother, but I the picture painted so vividly of the terrible pain these women went through for the love of their men, their children and their pride was astonishing. I couldn't put it down.
