When i bought the book all i was interested was just about the way the author had given the brief.But it turned out to be a real big surprise to me as i completed it at one go.
The story is about a little girl Mariam who grows in a remote village of Afghanistan & the way she's married to someone thrice her age & sent off to Kabul.How her life changes after that,how she copes with a husband who as days pass by changes into a volatile person.And then comes the part when Mujhahids occupy Afghanistan,their gruesome rule & the way each and every person's life change because of the same.At the same time we also get to see another young gal whose ife again changes after a single missile attack & how she gets attached to Mariam's life.Then the rule of Taliban..
It's all about 2 women who give up lot of things in their life,settle down in the same house as wives of one volatile mean husband who ends up getting killed one night by Mariam.And how Mariam makes the decision of accepting the crime but at the sametime makes a new life for Laila ,her daughter & son.You get to read about the extreme cruelties of every single person during theTaliban period has gone through & not to forget the period before that.And not to mention lot of good moments where in you get to read about how big the word TITANIC meant to them then.
Somewhere this book definitely touches a raw chord in every single reader.But then again some might get easily bored with the same.Afterall opinions differ - Don't they
A good read after a long time
