Now, this is a superbook! I scarcely weep over sad stories (yeah, I feel for the characters, but cry? Not me.) but this one really, I have to admit, made me shed plenty of tears. This is the kind of a book that I have to pause reading and take in a lot of air before continuing cause it really breaks me. It tells about friendship, family, society and social hierarchy. It talks about the pre-Russian invasion of Afghanistan, the Shorawi occupation to the terrible Taliban era. I’m now a certified Khaled Hosseini fan. For a physician to excellently write like that is extremely admirable. Kudos to all Muslim and Asian authors!
