A Thousand Splendid Suns

A Thousand Splendid Suns, by Khaled Hosseini, is two brilliantly written stories intertwined.

One story of a young girl that was unwanted and a shame to her father, who was handed off to marry a man that was about forty years older than her. When she is not able to give her husband the only thing he wants, he turns into a cruel, hard old man and she turns into a reclusive, depressed women. The other story of young girl growing up in the start of a new age with a mother that has given all her love to her two sons that are in the war and doesn't seem to have any left for her. She is surrounded by violence and lose and is falling in love with her best friend in a time of separation.

Based in Afghanistan, A Thousand Splendid Suns gives the reader a insight of Indian culture.

Recommended by two friends, Chynna and Mason, this is one of my favorite books and to those who decided to read it I tell you, keep reading, there IS a perfect ending.
