Description
The unforgettable story of an Afghan family’s escape from the Taliban and perilous trek across Europe to seek asylum, led by one extraordinarily courageous woman. This is the second novel by Nadia Hashimi, the author of last year’s breakout The Pearl That Broke Its Shell.
Mahmoud’s passion for his wife, Fereiba, a schoolteacher, is greater than any love she’s ever known. But their happy, middle-class world - a life of education, work, and comfort - implodes when their country is engulfed in war and the Taliban rises to power.
Mahmoud, a civil engineer, becomes a target of the new fundamentalist regime and is murdered. Forced to flee Kabul with her three children, Fereiba has one hope to survive: She must find a way to cross Europe and reach her sister’s family in England. With forged papers and help from kind strangers they meet along the way, Fereiba make a dangerous crossing into Iran under cover of darkness. Exhausted and brokenhearted but undefeated, Fereiba manages to smuggle them as far as Greece. But in a busy market square, their fate takes a frightening turn when her teenage son, Saleem, becomes separated from the rest of the family.
Faced with an impossible choice, Fereiba pushes on with her daughter and baby, while Saleem falls into the shadowy underground network of undocumented Afghans who haunt the streets of Europe’s capitals. Across the continent Fereiba and Saleem struggle to reunite and ultimately find a place where they can begin to reconstruct their lives.

Great start, no ending
Starts out great, like poetry but midway they switch to a terrible narrator, just awful. Then, there is no ending to the book. Wtf?

Good story. Poor ending
Good book. Well rounded characters, but I was disappointed with the ending. I felt like I left in the dark

Unfinished?
I love Ms. Hashimi’s books, but in this one all the story lines abruptly end! I’m left checking for a sequel. A shame.

Sad story, amazing details! Narrations are professional. Hope to have more novels like these. Refugees stories are heartbreaking.

No ending
How can you take us on a world wide journey and not have an ending?
Also, didn’t love the narration.

Great at first...
I loved the first half or so, but once the narrator changed things went downhill. I couldn't wait for it to be over and I kept thinking the end was going to save it. Clearly I didn't pay attention to the other reviews. It abruptly ended after having gone on for so long with a repetitive storyline for Saleem. I loved Sparks like Stars and had such high hopes for this book, but I was greatly disappointed.
