Book Review: A Thousand Splendid Suns
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
My review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book was heartbreaking but I loved it anyway. I was so engrossed in the story that my stomach was in knots at some points. It was also a great lesson in the political history of Afghanistan over that past 30 years. It's a harsh reminder that these are real people whose lives we're interfering with over in the Middle East and that today's wars are not fought on battlefields but in neighborhoods. People are dying in their literal backyards.
