❤️ loved this book because...
I love the writing and how it is so subtle. I love the fact that every single sentence in the book has a purpose and that nothing in this book is vague . I love how emotions and feelings are described in this book this book just makes you think it makes you feel it its so complex the characters are so complex they have dimension i love how the more you read the more you start thinking like the characters the book has some domestic violence in it at one point you start thinking like the victims u start thinking he could be worst he's bad but it could have been worst u start thinking like that i love how it makes me realise or think newly the paragraph about how mariam felt like she was an intruder in another person's life or something when she first stepped into her husband's house the book is so well written it makes you feel for all the characters even the bad characters are not complete black and white i felt so much for mariam when 15 yrs pass I grieved for all the years she lost to that marriage I felt for mariam and her father's relationship in the end after all she went through I felt like those moments with her father were her most happiest and peaceful moments when she mentions about how what she did was wrong cuz she took away a child's father it blow my mind away cuz i want even thinking about it I felt for laila's mother i felt for laila's father i felt so bad about the fact that he couldn't fulfill his dream of a peaceful life i felt for the people of Afghanistan the false hope they get every time a new leader shows up gets shattered though it gets shattered it never dies they dont quit hoping and thats just so devastating
