To my opinion, a magnificent book, a melancholy story about the difficult life of 2 Afghani women, Mariam and Laila.Mariam's life revolves around her father's visits. While she lives in a hut with her mother, it's the weekly visits from her father that are the light of her existence.Laila lives just down the street from Mariam, yet they hardly interact until the struggle for control in Afghanistan brings tragedy to their street. Then their lives become irrevocably linked. Despite the 19 years age difference between them, a strong bond of friendship is formed. Will it be enough to endure the hardship ahead?It is a story of love and faith in each other, in sacrifice and bloodshed, a story that touches you right into the heart, a story that will stay with you long after you close the book. This emotional story covers the period from 1964 to roughly the present day in the hardluck country of Afghanistan.
