Beauty is an enormous, unmerited gift given randomly, stupidly.

reading khaled hosseini has just made me realise that the root cause of every bad thing is the patriarchy, actually.

Khaled Hosseini's books are like a warm hug from a dear friend, if that hug also made you ugly cry.

'I should have been more kind'

That is something a person will never regret. You will never say to yourself, when you are old, "Ah , I wish I was never good to that person ." You will never think that.

Khaled Hosseini ( And the mountains echoed)

When you have lived as long as I have you realize that cruelty and benevolence are but shades of the same colour.

I’ve been reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini and trust me, it has broken my heart. This is the first time when a book has made me cry myself to sleep.

🎧: Bo Giyam by Kashif Din, Nimra Rafiq

Review:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I think I liked the book a lot and the ending was unexpectedly good. I just wished in the end Laila could become something, like take on a career and also wished to see Mariam’s old self again. Other than this, I loved the whole book. It was described in such fine detail that it blowed my mind. Surely a good read!

[...] I informed Saboor and offered to drive him and Pari to Kabul. I will never fully understand why he chose to instead walk his daughter from Shadbagh. Or why he allowed Abdullah to come along. Perhaps he was clinging to what little time he had left with his daughter. Perhaps he sought a measure of penance in the hardship of the journey. Or perhaps it was Saboor's pride, and he would not ride in the car of the man who was buying his daughter. But, in the end, there they were, the three of them, coated in dust, waiting, as agreed, near the mosque.

i often come back and ponder about how khaled hosseini, a man, born in unfavorable conditions, were able to have the biggest heart and coin these works that we can hold so close to us. and how, like his characters with broken backgrounds, can become like a father’s warm embrace to those with restless hearts.

I have lived a long time, and one thing I have come to see is that one is well served by a degree of both humility and charity when judging the inner workings of another person's heart.

She was an extraordinary woman, and I went to bed that night like I was perhaps more than ordinary myself. This was the effect she had on me.

I'm convinced Khaled Hosseini could write a grocery list and it would still be more emotionally impactful than most novels.
