I didn't want this book to end, but I couldn't set the book down to stop reading, either...
Khaled Hosseini's latest book, A Thousand Splendid Suns,
was worth staying up for all hours, a thousand thank yous to this man.
I am a devoted reader of this sensitive and knowledgeable
author. His first book, The Kite Runner, was a fascinating and heartfelt read. It's always a risk to delve into the second book, after being so touched and enthralled by an authors first published novel. What a feat! Both books are excellent.
I appreciate an author who really pulls me into his story, this latest one takes place in war torn Afghanistan. Hosseini's original homeland) T he relationships, and cultural differences are woven deftly, and intricately into this well told story. Reading A Thousand Splendid Suns opens your eyes wider, to the trials of millions of displaced people, and the hardship of men, and especially the repression women in the middle East. I should be so inclined to kiss the soil of my country after this. The rich bonds between the women in this book, makes me long for a simpler less distracted life. I am so glad that the author has decide to share his words with the world. Hosseini has been devoting his life to people in Africa as well as the Middle East. His bio can be found at
