Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a local teenager, Laila, as strong as the ties between mother and daughter. when the Taliban take over, life becomes a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear.

Ikigai
Hèctor Garcia & Francesc Miralles
"The people of Japan believe that everyone has an ikigai - a reason to jump out of bed each morning.
Inspiring & comforting, this book will give you the tools to discover your own personal ikigai. It will show you how to leave urgency behind, find your purpose, nurture friendships and throw yourself into your passions."
The sub-conscious inspiration behind current hobbies, this read also marks the beginning of my true interest in gardening.
The Prophet
