I overheard that one of my colleagues metioned this book was so touching and sad. The cover was not that fascinating and I  wasn’t also familar with the Afgan culture. But she was one of the most reader around me and I decided to trust her perspective. 

When I got started the book, I encountered a few unfamilar words but it was not a big deal. I was shocked several times at the sad news about the main characters, especially Hassan and his son, Sohrab. Due to the unescapable social staus, they were persecuted so badly. When Hassan was blooded with the Assef’s harrasement, I was almost crying and Sohrab’s trial of suicide made me feel like a prick. 

I was so touchd and sometimes so worried about Sohrab’s muteness, but the ending gave me a big relief. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to experience the true moving story.
