Lovely Paige.. I’m so glad I ended up here today to enjoy your generous, impactful story. I’m headed to the library. Though I have read The Kite Runner, I haven’t yet read A Thousand Splendid Suns or And The Mountains Echoed… 🫂

Aw, thank you so much for this kind comment, Steve! I would LOVE to hear your thoughts after you read A Thousand Splendid Suns and/or And the Mountains Echoed! If you enjoyed The Kite Runner, I think it's highly likely you will enjoy those as well. :)

Paige, this gave me such joy to read, your thoughts and feelings are a mirror to my own. Thank you and please take care of your wonderful spirit, don’t let this scary, often cruel world change you.

I too have been trying see through the windows, reading authors who open my eyes to other ways of living, Isabel Allende and Elif Shafak are amazing and I will read A Thousand Splendid Suns very soon.

I would LOVE to hear your thoughts after you read A Thousand Splendid Suns, Wendy! I appreciate you reading this essay and taking the time to comment ❤️

I haven’t read anything by Allende or Shafak — yet — but I’m looking forward to checking out their work :)

Heartfelt and beautifully writtem. Did you read The Kite Runner?

Yes, absolutely! That and his other novel And The Mountains Echoed are also very special to me. I would recommend any of them in a heartbeat!

I must read 'And the mountains echoed'. Welcome from us both to 'One hundred years...', Paige!

Couldn’t agree more, Drew! How lucky we are to have books like this that guide our way in life.
