A powerful and heartbreaking tale of two women struggling to survive and find happiness during the most tumultuous periods of Afghanistan. With war raging outside, Mariam and Laila faced an even more brutal existence within their own homes. The novel serves not only as a tale of caution, but also as a testament of the ability to persevere in horrifying circumstances.
