"Love" is a great feeling. Deeply hidden, forbidden, secret, it will still wait for its hour. This is the new novel by Khaled Hosseini, which became the main world bestseller in 2007. This book is also about friendship between people who, it would seem, can only be enemies, about hidden contradictions between parents and children, about the fortitude of meek hearts.
At the center of the novel are two women who became victims of the upheavals that destroyed peaceful Afghanistan. Mariam is the illegitimate daughter of a rich businessman, who has known from childhood what misfortune is, and from an early age felt her own doom. Leila, on the contrary, is a beloved daughter in a close-knit family, dreaming of an interesting and wonderful life. There is nothing in common between them, they live in different worlds, which would not have been destined to intersect if not for the fiery squall of war. From now on, Leila and Mariam are connected by the closest ties, and they themselves do not know who they are - enemies, friends or sisters. But alone they will not survive in a maddened world, they will not withstand the medieval despotism and cruelty that flooded the streets and houses of the once cozy city. Together they will go through suffering, together they will catch unexpected grains of joy, together they will dream of happiness, to which they will one day try to break through.
