A Thousand Splendid Suns – Khaled Hosseini
Rating: 3 stars
Cliff Notes: I have heard great things about this book for years and was excited to pick it up at a recent book sale.
Full Summary: It took me a little longer to get through because of the foreign names of geography and culture (food, clothing, celebrations, etc). I also got bogged down at times with the in depth details of the conflict in the region.
But the stories of these women. Holy cow. The resilience and courage these women showed throughout the novel is humbling, especially knowing that the situations that these women endured are probably taken from actual events. And are probably still happening today.
