    Pros: Great plot that sheds light on the Taliban and the history of Afghanistan

    Cons: A little bit slow at beginning

    One of the best books I've read in a long time. While it reads like fiction, it is a great lesson in the history of Afghanistan over the last 30 or 40 years. The characters are highly developed and, thus, very sympathetic. Difficult to put down a...s you get into the meat of the story. Read more Less

    Pros: Great history

    Cons: Can't think of any

    I agree with the other reviewer. Felt it was a beautifully told story and gave the history of the Afghan people. As a woman, it was hard to read in some parts realizing that some people do live this way. Ending was great, loved the characters--Keep u...p the good work Khaled. These writings really make you think! Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Thousand Splendid Suns

  • Enhanced Muze Note

    [A] powerful, harrowing depiction of Afghanistan, but also a lyrical evocation of the lives and enduring hopes of its resilient characters." (starred review)

Publisher Notes: Thousand Splendid Suns

  • Both born in Afghanistan a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family, Mariam and Laila are brought together by war, by loss and by fate. As they endure the ever escalating dangers around them -- in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul -- they form a bond that will ultimately alter the course of their lives and the lives of the next generation. With heart-wrenching power and suspense, Hosseini shows how a woman's love for her family can move her to shocking and heroic acts of self-sacrifice, and that in the end it is love, or even the memory of love, that is often the key to survival.
