Read in May- another oldie in my tbr. I loved this book. I know it has been criticized about the polarized characters development, others say they are not realistic but still. The story is about all these wars and political conflicts in Afghanistan. The author will explain some history events, specifically the role of women, through the eyes of Mariam and Laila😢It is a heartbreaking story. I loved it and I‘m glad I read it. ❤️ ⬇️

But this is another novel where the death motive⬇️

My plans for the weekend changed, and I couldn't read for 20 hours. But I did find two books and got 60% through another. Maybe some month, I'll reach that elusive 20-hour mark. #20in4 #Readathon @Andrew65

30. International Jazz Day for #MayMontage

Most of Murakami's works have been influenced by music, most notably Classical and Jazz.
It's a widely known fact that music lover Murakami owned and ran a Jazz Bar in the 1970s.
