“I learn that the boy's name is Manaar. It means 'guiding light'. His mother was a prostitute, his father a thief. He lived with his aunt and uncle, who beat him. No one knows exactly what is killing him, only that it is. No one visits him, and when he dies, a week from now, no one will come to claim him. No one will grieve. No one will remember. He will die where he lived - in the cracks.”
― Khaled Hosseini, And the Mountains Echoed
