This book continues to amaze me. Usually I am much faster at reading books because I can somewhat skim the words and still take in what I need to in order to understand and follow the story. In this book, I find myself unable to do so. I cling to every word she says and cannot skip a single letter.
She doesn't only talk about the one attack that occurred - she talks about a great deal of things. Things that are happening in her country, things that have happened, anecdotes from her family, legends and old tales - I have actually learned a lot about the history of Afghanistan.
This book so far has filled me with anger, sadness, guilt, amazement and admiration.
I believe this is my first autobiography that I have read, but it makes me want to read others. Learning about other peoples' lives is actually entirely fascinating and real. Very much enjoying this right now.
