The story takes place in Afghanistan over the span of just over 30 years through the Soviet invasion to the take over of the Taliban. 2 characters, Mariam and Laila, who are both affected by the wars of their country, along with it's laws of man, are brought together by unforseen circumstances. The two become unlikely friends and allies. The story alternates between the voices of each of the women as they face their struggles together in a war torn country where women are nothing more than objects to men.
So, my favorite book of the year quickly got replaced. LOL! I did not want to put this one down. I love a book that can make you happy, sad, angry all in the same book.
