7/10, this was an enjoyable novel despite it being less than 100 pages yet it still manages to be a well executed one albeit being rather heartbreaking. It starts off with the main character Parvana living with her family but she lives in Taliban controlled Afghanistan in 2001 which is just an awful place to live there but anyways some Taliban soldiers arrive to interrogate her father and take him away and she would do anything to find him again. Towards the middle of the book she disguises herself and goes off alone continuing on her quest, financially supporting herself and meeting some other characters along the way however I also liked how her father explained the backstory of Afghanistan so creatively and the power of stories as well. In the last part she eventually does find her father; this moment soon turns bittersweet as he passes right in front of her eyes before she talks about the power of stories and people again ending the story, besides that the colour palette and art style look pleasing to the eyes and feels like a realistic artists' impression of a town in Afghanistan. I'm surprised that I've never even heard of this story until I picked it up and of course it was worth reading though the original novel could be just as good.… (lisätietoja)
