I can't talk about this book right now... I feel like the rug has been ripped out from under my feet and I'm lying on my back staring up at a blank ceiling pondering my insignificance in life. This is one of those books that completely changes your outlook on something, and I'm kind of wishing that ...
A Thousand splendid suns is the story of two afghan women, Mariam and Laila. It is the story of women in afghan, young and old, who bear their own burden of suffering and bitterness.

“Mariam is in Laila’s own heart, where she shines with the bursting radiance of a thousand suns.”What a wonderful novel!You know, I'm sad. I really am. Injustice hurts. It cuts so deep in our hearts, and it leaves us only for our pain, tears, and blood. This novel gives you a real pain. It opens you...
Paused on p. 242 because it's become clear that the narrative has undercut the characters in ways that seem meant to feed US mainstream readers' expectations, not challenge or stretch them. I like the setting.
A totally harrowing account of the lives of two incredible women. I could barely bring myself to read it at times but it was equally impossible to put it down. So beautiful.
If you have been keeping up with my blog, you would know how much I love Khaled Hosseini.
