Deborah Ellis provides an insightful and previously unseen view into life of the people of Afghanistan. Through her novel we are able to see various aspects of life for those in Afghanistan, fear, for those living under the scourge of the Taliban, risk taking, average people risking their lives to help those in need, gender inequality, women and girls force to spend their days indoors, friendship, despite the terror that people are living under they still find others to bond and grow with, hardship, people somehow holding on through the toughest of living conditions in the hardest of times, hope, despite all of the horror and fear in Afghanistan, people still have hope. Ellis portrays these themes with expert penmanship giving an immense feeling of empathy to the people of Afghanistan from anyone who reads this novel.
