The end, the official end, would come first in April 1978 with the communist coup d’état, and then in December 1979, when Russian tanks would roll into the very same streets where Hassan and I played, bringing the death of the Afghanistan I knew and marking the start of a still ongoing era of bloodletting.

    Creo que por el hecho de ser mujer, esta novela fue un sufrimiento de principio a fin.

    La desigualdad por casta, los matrimonios forzados, la total falta de derechos por parte de la mujer, la violencia física y psicológica en todas las dimensiones posibles, manteniendo a las mujeres sin educación, violándolas y golpeándolas solo por existir, la ausencia de salud pública para mujeres, la deshonra familiar por haber nacido mujer y no hombre... Es insoportable.

    Sin embargo, me forcé a llegar hasta el final porque aunque todo lo que Hosseini escribe aquí es ficcional, no tengo dudas de que es el día a día de generaciones de mujeres afganas y sin el final feliz que tiene esta novela.

    El libro te hace más feminista, sin dudas. Te hace querer luchar y ayudar más en la equidad de género.

    Lo recomiendo.
