A book coma after so long.
Cannot seem to get the characters out of my head.

For the longest time I had avoided reading this one.
Why?
Because knowing Hosseini's writing, I knew its going to stay with me for the rest of my life, as the Kite Runner had.
His characters are beautifully innocent and yet all knowing. He draws you in with the smooth flow of his words and then the next moment, you can hardly believe what you have just read. Clutching the book as you silently weep for a fictional character.

His words have power to move even the toughest of hearts.
Forever a fan.

PS.
Is it even a Khalid Hosseini book if it doesn't make you cry?
