Synopsis
Khaled Hosseini's bestselling debut novel THE KITE RUNNER told of the bond and betrayal that linked two young Afghani boys, and showed how their personal and political history affected their lives and the lives of their children. In his second novel A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS Hosseini shows the tenuous alliance made between two Afghan women who are both married to the same brutal older man. Miriam, an illegitimate daughter, is 15 when she is married to Rasheed. Years later he takes another wife, the orphaned 14-year old Laila. Together, the two women, subjugated by culture and circumstance, must find a way to survive and protect that most-precious of commodities: hope.

    This may be a new author but, he is on the money.His first book "The Kite Runner" gave us a taste and he carries it over to this new release. Life in Afghanistan is drawn explicitly and even rudely. Through 3 decades of life from Soviet occupation until now. A deep and abiding love and loyalty that surpasses my understanding. Worth reading by all. I bought it after reading his first novel and was not disappointed
