千の輝く太陽

Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to Kabul to marry Rasheed. Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a local teenager, Laila, as strong as the ties between mother and daughter. When the Taliban take over, life becomes a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear. Yet love can move a person to act in unexpected ways, and lead them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with a startling heroism.

if a girl laila already name her,,, Maryam 🥲🥲

Amazing book. I cannot stress how heart wrenching it was thought. I feel like it was part traumaporn, but in a way, it portrayed the life that real people lived. And it made me so much more grateful and aware of what is happening around me. I don't usually like when men write about women, but this was an exception.
