1. The first book in this journey is The Patience Stone by Atiq Rahimi of #Afghanistan. This powerful tale from Afghanistan dives deep into themes of resilience and the inner lives of women in conflict. Rahimi’s poetic prose and raw emotion make it a compelling start!

Atiq Rahimi’s The Patience Stone is a powerful and deeply disturbing story about the wife of a comatose militant in war-torn Afghanistan. As the husband lies there, unresponsive, the wife starts to share everything she’s held inside—her frustrations, her pain, her anger.
A Chinese proverb says an invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, despite the time, the place, despite the circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangled, but never be broken.
