I just finished reading A Thousand Splendid Suns, Khaled Hosseini's 2nd book about the tumultuous history of Afghanistan and the beautiful stories of love, loyalty and friendship that take place among the oppression and fighting. As I began reading the books I became torn, I didn't want to continue reading about the hardships the characters had to endure. The stories broke my heart and opened my eyes to a world that, in 2009, seems so archaic, yet I found myself turning page after page in hopes of finding a happy ending. If you haven't read Kite Runner or A Thousand Splendid suns, I highly suggest it whether you are a mother or a father, son or daughter, man or woman... these stories will touch each of you in a different way. If you only have time for one of the books, I would suggest A Thousand Splendid Suns.
