Description
Mariam and Laila are two women born a generation apart, their lives brought together by war, loss, and fate. Enduring escalating dangers in their home and the streets of Kabul, they form a bond that makes them sisters and mother-daughter to each other. This connection alters the course of their lives and the next generation. Khaled Hosseini chronicles thirty years of Afghan history and tells a deeply moving story of family, friendship, and faith. With heart-wrenching power, the novel shows how a woman's love for her family can lead to acts of self-sacrifice, and how love, or its memory, is often the key to survival in an unforgiving time.
