In this novel, Khaled Hosseini tells the story of two Afghan women, different in terms of upbringing, environment, and age. Circumstances bring them together in one house, and they are united by feelings of mutual hatred. These feelings, by virtue of circumstances, soon change, change, and turn into feelings of love and agreement that lead to their committing a joint crime. One of them bears the burden of the crime and accepts. To be executed, keeping her partner away from punishment so that she can raise her children.
In his novel, Khaled Al-Husseini was keen to monitor the minute details of the lives of the characters and lightly infiltrated their feelings and dreams, and excelled in conveying the changes of their emotions and the fluctuations of their moods due to the largest event, the external political event that destroyed Afghanistan and returned it to prehistoric times.
Male novelists rarely enjoy this accuracy in probing the depths of women, knowing their feelings, and telling about those subtle details of emotional changes in different stages of life, childhood, adolescence, youth, and maturity.
