Sun-warmed and spicy, with dried cherry, cedar and a rustic grip from high mountain vineyards. It suits Mariam's childhood in a small kolba outside Herat, where she waits each week for visits from a wealthy father who will not claim her in town.
Perfumed with rose petal, lychee and warm spice, it opens like a garden hidden behind high walls. It suits the house in Kabul where Mariam and Laila, two wives of the same harsh man, slowly build a fierce and private tenderness.
Through the lives of two Afghan women across decades of conflict, Hosseini weaves a story of survival and the transformative power of female friendship and love.
