A Thousand Spendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
Check the catalog for this item.
In my opinion, this second book by Khaled Hosseini more than lives up to its predecessor, The Kite Runner. In A Thousand Spendid Suns, Hosseini takes us through thirty years of war and upheaval in Afghanistan’s city of Khabul. The book follows two generations of women brought together by war and personal tragedies. Together they struggle to survive, raise a family and find happiness. All these life events are set against the backgound of the Soviet invasion, the reign of the Taliban and finally the post-Taliban rebuilding. I highly recommend this book and hope that he writes a third!
