A Thousand Splendid Suns

Just finished reading this book which I borrowed recently from my college's library. I had to choose between Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. This book was written by Khaled Hosseini who also wrote The Kite Runner.

Set in Afghanistan, this book tells about the hardship of 2 women, Mariam and Laila. It's about family and friendship. It gives the readers a glimpse of what life is like in Afghanistan through these two women. While reading this book, we may recognize some of the events.

Overall, a splendid, moving story. Khaled Hosseini is a good storyteller. If you enjoyed reading "The Kite Runner" you would enjoy reading this.

Hope you would read this book and enjoy it as much as I did,
Vicky
