"A Thousand Splendid Suns" Review August 31, 2008
This unforgettable book intertwines the lives of two women of Afghanistan, Mariam and Laila. Their lives are surrounded by both the hope of Afghanistan and personal heartbreak brought on by the unstoppable force of history that crashes into their lives. The strength of these women is inspiring that in the worst of times, love will still conquer all wrong.
Couldn't stop listening to this audiobook. August 27, 2008
This is a great book. The violence was hard to take but I understood why the author felt that is was necessary.
Simply Astonishing August 25, 2008
What more can be said about "A Thousand Splendid Suns"? It is an astonishingly good novel and proves without doubt that Hosseini is no one-hit literary wonder. Whilst I didn't get into it from the get-go the way I did with "The Kite Runner", that is a minor quibble. The plotline and main characters are remarkable, memorable and heartbreaking. The novel gives a unique perspective on the living hell that is everday life in Kabul, Afghanistan, told through the eyes of two women at very different stages in their lives who are brought together in heartbreaking circumstances. They have to endure living their lives in a manner that I find horrific to contemplate, and Hosseini really brings to life their unlikely friendship and struggle to endure intolerable personal circumstances. I cannot recommend "A Thousand Splendid Suns" highly enough and have given it a 5-Star rating.

I enjoy Hosseini's writing style. A good way to learn the history of Afganistan.
