I went back and forth with A Thousand Splendid Suns being infuriated or heartbroken and there wasn't much in between. Hosseini told a terribly sad story that also managed to come across as uplifting in some ways. I did not know what to expect from Hosseini's work but I certainly did not expect an em...
It was a warm, sunny day in Montenegro and I was about to set out on a boat trip. I felt certain that a combination of sightseeing and the people I was with would keep me from having much time to read, but I packed a book anyway just in case there was time for a chapter or two in between stops. [b:A...
A Thousand Splendid Suns has been on my TBR list since September of 2009. I finally got around to reading it in July of 2013 and I'm glad I did.The book offers some great insight into the culture of Afghanistan both before, during and after the Afghan Civil War. It spans two generations of women who...

Mariam is a...
I cried. It made me realize how good we have it in this country, especially as women. The two women in the story felt real and were very relatable. Definitely one of my new favorites.
While mysteries are my favorite genre, I love any well written book. Khaled Hosseini is, in my opinion, one of the finest living writers today. I read recently that his third book was being published soon and have had this book on my shelf for a few months so I pushed it up on my TBR list.This was...
I remember reading this one a few years ago. Very raw and depressing. Despite the rather unpleasant reading experience (I was crying, ok????), it's not something I'd read ever again. It's just too realistic and sad and melancholic. If you haven't read it though, I suggest you should. A lot of values...
So many feelings. This is one of those books you want to end quickly so as to spare the characters more pain, which you know is just gonna keep on coming. It's hard to read this book as a Muslim woman and not be angry. It's impossible, I think.
