Patricia Leppo's  descriptions of historical events, character emotions and the scenes surrounding them, made me feel like I was an observer at hand as the story unfolded! I love historical accounts and when a book with fictional characters can draw me in to recreate the past and draw me in to the point I lose myself from the present and feel like I am there, well, I am entranced. It was hard for me to put the book down to go to sleep at a decent time and I looked forward to my daily breaks to find out what the next chapter would reveal! I am looking forward to Patricia Leppo's next book!!!!!

I thought this book was an excellent read.  I finished the book in 1.5 days.  I recently was in Afghanistan through work for 6 months, and I loved how Khaled used real locations and described the people of Afghanistan.  I found myself being able to relate to parts of the book, and this brought about a feeling of reassurance.  I lived in the Wazir Akbar Khan district, and thinking back on my time there I found myself daydreaming of how it must have been 25+ years ago.  I saw Afghanistan post-Taliban in 2004, but this book really helped me understand the history of Afghanistan and what it must have been like many days in history.  This is the book I was looking for before my travel to Kabul.  I found the book a little late, but better late than never.  Khaled's writing style is very real, striking and filled with emotion, which is just what I needed to be reading.

Broad ranging but brought alive with vivid personal detail. I was carried along as if I was a war correspondent on the ground - engrossing.

After reading the book my mind immediately thought back to that horrible and tragic day America was attacked.  The author was so vivid in her description that I felt as if I was part of the story, right along side with Mikey's mother. Bravo! Well done!! I'm looking forward to reading more of this Authors works.

Attention to detail was fantastic. You felt like you were living in the time. An insight into the misguided thought processes of the early church.

I found this to be rich with layers and exquisite details.  It was so moving, so thoroughly engaging that I feel as though these characters are a part of me now.  I felt haunted by the ending; the sadness and the loss, the potential never realized: these have stayed with me.

The prose is superbly crafted: fresh, charming, inspired, honest.  It was a wonderful read.

Unbelievable attention to detail. Great read. Felt as the original author was still writing. We need more novels le this one.

Excellent.  I felt like I was in the story and not as a spectator but as a member of the posse, hoping and praying someone would tell the truth. Loved the way the author brought it all together.

Amazing detail. I could visualize everything perfectly. I felt shocked, horrified, fascinated, and intrigued all at the same time. Most of all, it makes me want more.
