♾️ stars

“One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs, or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls.”

Sobbing. I’m heartbroken. Everyone should read this at least once.

I’m so glad this was the book that I finished my reading goal with. I can’t write my full thoughts about this one just yet 😭 full review to come

Quotes

“Of all the hardships a person had to face, none was more punishing than the simple act of waiting.”

“Learn this now and learn it well. Like a compass facing north, a man's accusing finger always finds a woman. Always. You remember that, Mariam.”

“A man's heart is a wretched, wretched thing. It isn't like a mother's womb. It won't bleed. It won't stretch to make room for you.”
