Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to Kabul to marry Rasheed. Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a local teenager, Laila, as strong as the ties between mother and daughter. When the Taliban take over, life becomes a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear. Yet love can move a person to act in unexpected ways, and lead them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with a startling heroism.

The reader experiences the dramatic fate of Mariam and Laila, their love, overarching friendship and fears. Besides, one learns a lot about Afghanistan`s history.

I hope the book might find interested readers. It would be great to learn whether or not the book has been read, liked and possibly released.
