Abridged Audiobook
Well written and well read. An amazing story of the lives of 2 women and the entertwining of their lives. It made me realise that no matter how ordinary a life may seem at times, every life has an effect on others and is important. I loved this book but am very pleased, as a woman, that I don't live in that part of the world. Can only recommend this work - thoroughly enjoyable.
I loved the book. The narration really made me appreciate the culture and language. Simply wonderful.
I've read this book many times, it is one of my favorites of all time. It really speaks of a life that so many of us don't know, but it connects us through heartache, abuse, perseverance, and love. Mariam is a strong character and the author shows that continuously throughout the book. I thought the narration was just okay. I didn't love the voice of the narrator, it was high pitched and seemed happy even through some very dark scenes in the book. She tried to change her voice for the different characters but it just didn't work out very well. My husband even commented on the voice when he heard me listening to the book. Someone with a lower and broader range for the book would have fit much better I think.
