is absolutely by far the saddest book i have ever read...Ben said when i'd finished crying lastnight that a) it was only a story and b) that it must have been good if it made me cry (meaning real)...
oh man - it was traumatic and even now, a day on from finishing it, i still tear up when i think about what some people have to overcome in their lives...
guess it didn't help that in the middle of all of that there has been a lot of confronting 'past demons'....
so it's been a tough and sad few days and i hope now that we are able to go onwards and upwards (as the saying goes)...
so thank you khaled hosseini for an amazing read - sad yes, heartfelt yes, real yes, and now at least i understand more about what the afghan people went through...Ben reminded me again yesterday just how lucky we are to live in Australia, and he is right, absolutely definitely right!
