A Thousand Splendid Suns
Reviews (7)
23 September 2013Too hard to hear at times
Recounting the restrictions and frequent culture sanctioned brutality
for the women of Afghanistan, this story kept me praying for these
fictional characters - praying that there could be a splendid sunlit
dawn for them.
9 July 2013great book
This is an excellent story, listened to it in my car and did not want to get out of the car.
7 May 2013This author is brilliant
I loved the Kite Runner and this book is just as wonderful.
15 November 2011Powerful, touching insight into the lives of women in Afghanistan
Written by a talented author who was born and raised in Kabul, Afghanistan, we are privileged to peek at the lives of women living their lives in a war-torn, survival-mode country where women are controlled and degraded by religious extremists and weak, powerless men.
24 May 2010Good book
I read this book for an extra credit assignment for my CSUF Family Violence class.
30 March 2008Life on the other side...
This was a well written story about sad facts of life in that region of the word.
2 January 2008Better than any history book or any government's attempt to inform its citizens
People Magazine's 'Best of 2007' had a pithy, pitch-perfect mini-review of Khaled Hosseini's second effort that succinctly captures its triumph: \" makes Afghanistan's violent history intensely personal.
