Omg, I love this book. I read it years ago, but stopped here to give my opinion because it must be read by more people. I loved its sobriety amongst devastating scenarios, as well as the fact that the main character turns out to be someone else than I thought at the start. At least for me. Also, it left me with a feeling of hope although I had completely lost it throughout several chapters. Must read.

A Thousand Splendid Suns is the second book from Khaled Hosseini. His first book The Kite Runner was great and as many of the reviews of this book state A Thousand Splendid Suns was even better. This book followed some of the same patterns and style of the first book in all the best respects and I feel was a better story. While The Kite Runner story was a story of two boys lives this was the story of two girls. Of course the story is about so much more than just two with the connections that all of our lives make to others. Mr. Hosseini has a gift for pulling the reader into his story. I felt so connected to the story it was gripping. So many these days want to shift blame around for the evil things that happened in Afghanistan, but Mr. Hosseini pulls no punches placing the blame in the right place. The two books are connected at a very subtle level, but can be read independently. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
