Title: A haunting glimpse of the human soul
Review: This is a heavy, depressing novel about two young Afghan boys grwoing up in the 1970s. There are scenes of total brutality that made my stomach turn. I cried several times. But past the human cruelty presented in the book, past the Taliban terror and the horror of war, is a story about a boy fighting for his father's love and for his own redemption, and the end of the novel is filled with hope. Wonderful book, can't recommend it enough.
