A Thousand Splendid Suns was amazing. If anyone can outdo himself, it is Khaled Hosseini. If you thought The Kite Runner was a page turner, A Thousand Splendid Suns will leave you breathless for more. This book follows the lives of two Afghani women - fictional characters whom Hosseini uses to illustrate the plight of many women in Afghanistan and the challenges they face everyday. This book leaves no stone unturned. Read it and love it - believe me, you will cry with happiness, as well as sorrow.
