Khaled Hosseini's second novel is an excellent read; it definitely proved that Hosseini's debut novel, The Kite Runner was no fluke. It is well written and a captivating character driven story. Hosseini takes us once again to Afghanistan. The backdrop of the story spans several decades of political turmoil, from Soviet occupation to the rise and fall of the Taliban. It is the heart-wrenching story of two women, Mariam and Leila whose fates collide in war torn Kabul and who develop a deep bond. A powerful and emotional read.
