Trade Review
"Nadia Hashimi has written, first and foremost, a tender and beautiful family story. Her always engaging multigenerational tale is a portrait of Afghanistan in all of its perplexing, enigmatic glory, and a mirror into the still ongoing struggles of Afghan women." -- Khaled Hosseini, author of And the Mountains Echoed and The Kite Runner "A fascinating look at the unspoken lives of Afghani women, separated by generations and miles, yet achingly similar. This is a story to transport you and make you think." -- Shilpi Somaya Gowda, New York Times bestselling author of Secret Daughter "Hashimi weaves together two equally engrossing stories in her epic, spellbinding debut." -- Booklist (starred review)
