Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns

I have just done reading the Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns just now. I'm speechless. I'm satisfied. the beautiful, sad novel is really worth reading. I would really recommend it to everyone to read it. and to enjoy it as much as I do.



The story revolves around two women (or girls), Mariam and Laila from Afghanistan and the hardships they encounter in life due to political strife, religion, and abusive men. the story gets more and more intense, shocking and abusive with lots of actions (sound like I'm commenting on a movie haha) towards the end.

This is the second book by Khaled Hosseini, his debut novel, which is also my favourite, the kite runner. have you guys read it. if haven't read it yet, go and find the book at the book store near you =p I promise it will not let you down.



it was because of this first book that made me without even thinking much, grabbed the second book at The Times book shop in Medan when I saw it on the shelf.

the kite runner is a very heart-breaking novel telling a story about friendship, and guilt and more. also took place in Afghanistan.
