Welcome to Litsy!

There were some slow parts, but it was still a good book about a girl living through the Taliban takeover.

Another wonderful op shop find. Written in 1986 after a visit to Pakistan and the Afghan refugee camps there. It was when the Russians were invading Afghanistan. I learnt a lot . Not only about the history but about the author. Before the invasion Afghanistan was on its way to becoming a modern country with a bright future where girls were educated, the various groups got along and the countryside was not the desert it became with the invasion. 👇

This one wrecked me 💔😓

These past 2 days i have been in the mood to just read and it feels great. Reading for hours and into the night is soothing my tired body and soul right now to the point where i am very antisocial at the moment 😆

A deeply moving story of endurance. I couldn‘t put it down. An uncomfortable and heart-breaking read that is a reminder of how strong love can be.
I read this as a love story. A love between separated childhood sweethearts; a love between two unlikely friends; and the love of a homeland. A Thousand Splendid Suns is powerful prose.

Re-reading this series I read when I was younger.. such a heart wrenching story through so many hardships, but definitely a good read!

Interesting story of a family in Kabul. I was especially intrigued by the different layers of the family. It was interesting to see a more personal look into daily life in Afghanistan. The book came out in 2002 so it is fairly old now, but I doubt life has changed a whole lot there.
