- Summary
- Two women born a generation apart witness the destruction of their home and family in war-torn Kabul and incur losses over the course of thirty years that test the limits of their strength and courage
- Summary
- A breathtaking story set against the volatile events of Afghanistan's last thirty years-from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban to post-Taliban rebuilding that puts the violence, fear, hope and faith of this country in intimate, human terms. It is a tale of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives-the struggle to survive, raise a family, find happiness-are inextricable from the history playing out around them
