Once again, Khaled Hosseini has given us a glimpse of life in Afghanistan through the eyes of his richly drawn characters. While a work of fiction, one can't help but feel enormous empathy for those living an existance we can't begin to imagine....

Moving and Touching
A Thousand Splendid Suns is a very moving and touching novel about two Afghan women whose lives intersect in a strife-torn country. While early parts of the novel are plodding at times, the story revs up in the final third that it becomes a...

Another Homerun
As I was reading A Thousand Splendid Suns I kept wondering if we would someday look back on Hosseini's books as one of the important events of the beginning of the 21st century, when he brought to the public's attention much of the drama,...

Highly praised - and rightly so
This second novel of Khaled Hosseini has been highly praised, and rightly so. Once again a moving personal story is tied up with recent tragic events of conflict in Afghanistan. Once again we see human and humane heroes contending with evil forces...

Tragic, moving, fantastic
I really liked The Kite Runner. So much so, that I was reluctant to pick up this book. It always seems that the second book for a successful author is not up to the standard set by the first one. I have to say that I was proven wrong this time! I...

Hosseini brings sun to the night

"Excellent Story that Ignores Afghan Women's Continuing Plight"
Dedicated to Afghan women, this story vividly traces the exclusion of women from public life, their lack of human rights and gender equality, and the suffering they have long endured before and during Taliban rule. Khaled Hosseini lets us sense...

You can's put it down!
I had to read this book for one of my college classes (Ethnic Literature). The teacher told us that once you start you would not be able to put the book down, and he was right. This book is an amazing story and the most intriguing part it that it...

Cultural Window
This book is extremely well written and a hard one to put down! It gives you a personal view into the changes that have taken place in Afghanistan and especially to the women there.
