Title : A Thousand Splendid Suns
Author : Khaled Hosseini
Synopsis :
A Thousand Splendid Suns is a breathtaking story set against the volatile events of Afghanistan’s last thirty years—from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban to the post-Taliban rebuilding—that puts the violence, fear, hope, and faith of this country in intimate, human terms. It is a tale of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives—the struggle to survive, raise a family, find happiness—are inextricable from the history playing out around them.
My Thoughts :
Compared to his first novel, "The Kite Runner", this one didn't really hit me as strongly. It was good, but too sad and frustrating for me. I got frustrated at the way things were in Afghanistan in those days and how the people suffered so much. Anyway, I wouldn't read it over again, even though it was really good.
