review 1: I loved this book. For me it had everything...humor, excitement, sadness, and more. Whenever I had free time I would read a few pages and at bedtime I would stay up far to long reading this wonderful book. The main character Fawad is an 11 year old boy who reminded me of my beloved grandson Sam who has the same sense of humor and sensitivity which was a delightful bonus. The author makes you care about ALL the characters because of her beautiful writing. I enjoyed learning about the culture of Afghanistan and the strength of its people. It grabs you from the first page and doesn't let go until the last page but the story and characters stay with you long after you are done. It's very hard to believe that this is the authors debut novel and I can't wait for her next ... morebeautifully written novel. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to experience an excellent read.
review 2: Recommended by a former student. Although it's categorized as adult, definitely has potential for teen audiences as the main character is young.Set in Kabul after the Taliban have withdrawn. Fawad and his mother Mariya end up working for 3 Westerners, one of whom is in a relationship with an Afghani man. Lots of great interactions, revelations of culture. Characters are well-developed. Plot is also well-developed and keeps moving and leaves the reader wanting to know what will happen next. less
