A thousand splendid suns by khaled hosseini

A Thousand Splendid Suns is a breathtaking story set against the volatile events of Afghanistan?s last thirty years ? from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban to post-Taliban rebuilding ? that puts the violence, fear, hope, and faith of this country in intimate, human terms. It is a tale of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives ? the struggle to survive, raise a family, find happiness ? are inextricable from the history playing out around them. \n\nPropelled by the same storytelling instinct that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once a remarkable chronicle of three decades of Afghan history and a deeply moving account of family and friendship. It is a striking, heart-wrenching novel of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love ? a stunning accomplishment.
