Set against the backdrop of Afghanistan’s tumultuous history, the story follows the intertwined lives of two women, Mariam and Laila, whose fates are shaped by war, loss, and resilience.

As she navigates personal hardships and the complex relationship with her abusive husband, her world is drastically altered when she meets Laila, a bright and ambitious girl from a vastly different background.
Laila’s life takes a tragic turn that brings her into Mariam’s household, forcing both women to confront their own struggles and ultimately forge an unbreakable bond. Through shared challenges, they find solace and strength in each other, discovering the power of friendship amidst despair.

Although I didn't like the beginning as much, I loved, loved this book. I found the Kite Runner to be a good story with likable enough characters, but I connected to this book more.
