“The author skillfully depicts Kabul in such a way, that the reader is instantly transported there.
I’m always so impressed when a story, particularly of this magnitude, can be told within the confines of a novella. Despite, having only snapshots of the characters and their lives, they are still well-rounded and fully developed, and her evocative depiction of such a tragic event will stay with you.
Overall, I was left with a strong picture of Kabul in my mind, and the lingering affects of experiencing what life would be like in Afghanistan. Talk about a book hangover!”
