Book Review of A Thousand Splendid Suns

A Thousand Splendid Suns
Helpful Score: 1


I have not read "Kite Runner" by this author,but I think I will. I really was moved by this book,and even though I know that being a woman in America is truly a blessing this book hammers it home.It is a great story of how woman can and do persevere.This book though fiction does give a history lesson from an "average" persons point of view.How horrible it was to be a woman during Tali ban ,how misfortune and a cruel man can make your life horrid yet appreciating the small stuff.Also how mothers will do anything to protect their children.I really believe that this book should be read.
