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.

    I am an avid reader, and most of the books I read are of a serious matter. I read The Kite Runner, and waiting for Hosseini's new book about the life of Afghan women...This books is incredible, it opened my eyes to a country who is still at war...and a city Kabul, once a city of culture, now destroyed by so many invasions and wars...The author took me along to the lives of women, I wish I could have met, with such courage and lives unimaginable by me...this is a must read for it shows us another world, a world that is treacherous, violent, and full of ambiguities...I loved The Kite Runner...I adored A Thousand Suns, could not put it down. Hosseini is a wonderful and inspiring writer, he writes with heart, his words flow...it is a marvelous read... I can't wait for his next book...
