Ellie's Review
This was a fascinating book that helped me understand Afghanistan a little better. I love how it shows that each culture, country, and religion has good and bad people. I am very thankful for my life and my husband!
Book Summary
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.
