Finished it. Must read and a classic!
Mariam made my heart so heavy. The character was excellently described as an innocent girl earlier, kallanalum kanavan and bit possessive wife later.Short happiness due to Laila and Azira and finally accepting the blunder for the better life of others. Mariam is more painful than Hassan
I am unable to imagine a life of so many incidents, so many heart throbbing episodes. Khaled has splendidly mixed the political events occurred in Afghanistan of past three decades with the personal life’s of two Afghan ladies, how it affected and damaged them so badly. It also shattered the chauvinism and Taliban policies in name of Islam.
I loved all the characters, Rasheed was so sneaky and cunning. Laila was clever and bold. I loved the climax, her decisions.
Roshan – You would be able to connect relatively well as you are living there.
