Thousand Splendid Suns, A by Khaled Josseini
A thousand splendid suns is a breathtaking novel set, against the volatile events of Afghanistan’s last thirty years- from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban, to post-taliban rebuilding- and puts the violence, fear, hope, and faith of this country in intimate, human terms. It is a story of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives- the struggle to survive, raise a family, and find happiness- are inextricable from the history playing out around them.
Propelled by the same storytelling instinct that brought millions of readers to the Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once an incredible chronicle of three decades of Afghan history and a deeply moving story of family and friendship.
