A Thousand Splendid Suns

After 103 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and with four million copies of The Kite Runner shipped, Khaled Hosseini returns with a beautiful, riveting, and haunting novel that confirms his place as one of the most important literary writers today.

Propelled by the same superb instinct for storytelling that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once an incredible chronicle of thirty years of Afghan history and a deeply moving story of family, friendship, faith, and the salvation to be found in love.

Born a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family, Mariam and Laila are two women brought jarringly 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 come to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own lives but 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.

A stunning accomplishment, A Thousand Splendid Suns is a haunting, heartbreaking, compelling story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love.

5Loved it!  Aug 26, 2010
This book is a page turner. Khaled Hosseini has a way of inspiring all known human emotions through his words alone - his characters seem real in a way that they almost speak to the reader. I cannot imagine a better narration of history as it unfolded in the land of 'A Thousand Splendid Sons'!

5Easily deserving of five stars  Aug 25, 2010
Fascinating and captivating historical novel. I've read books about Afghan (modern) history and they've all been good -- but this book tells that history marvelously through the tragic and uplifting story of two women struggling for normalcy and dignity in a culture that is hard on women. I got teary eyed a few times towards the end. The final sentence of the book brought a smile to my face. I enjoyed this book immensely.

5Great Condition  Aug 25, 2010

I couldn't put this book down - loved it. I bought it used and was delighted at the speed it arrived at my door. The condition of the book was as good, if not better, than described by the seller. Would certainly buy from this source again.
