A Thousand Splendid Suns - Book Review

thousand_splendid_suns

I just finished reading A Thousand Splendid Suns by Afghan author Khaled Hosseini, who also wrote The Kite Runner. It was fantastic and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something to read. The story revolves around the lives of two Afghan women from 1960 to present day. Even though the book is fiction, it still paints the reader a very real picture of how normal civilians have had to live their lives the past 50 years. I don’t want to divulge too much into the plot, or give anything away, but all I can say is that it will be very hard to put down once you start reading it.
