I cried, I knew I would! This is a dizzying trip between past, present, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Greece, France, the U.S, many people, many stories unfold with each one of them, Husseini explores the human race, their emotions, their lives, their dreams, dozens of stories in one book but still each one of them is as striking, this review doesn't make much sense, my head is still swarmed by these tales, all I can say is that this is a must read, Mr Hosseini is such a good story teller, you will be engulfed in the details and the incredible amount of feelings that oozes from this book. Just read it
