Please read this book. It is beautifully written and the sisters lives come to life. I remember scenes from this book as it was a movie.

The book is much more the author’s story than Sulima or Hala’s.
It’s like these women were interviewed by someone constantly saying “yeah yeah but get to the punchline”. It’s a shame because I would have loved to actually hear these two incredible womens’ stories from start to finish, untarnished and unedited.

This was an especially difficult book to read, and it rounds out my literary tour of Afghanistan. This is the true account of two sisters, separated by 16 years and countless cultural circumstances. They tell their stories of fear, intimidation, and oppression, as well as their journey's to America.
A definite must-read.
