A Thousand Splendid Suns

A brilliant, sad, suspenseful story telling the story of two women, Layla and Mariam. I really loved this book, though it was quite hard to read in places - the traumatic events that take place in the book are absolutely heartbreaking. This is a beautifully written, fantastic novel.

We really enjoyed reading this book

All our group really liked this book. We have read all his other books and this was our favourite

One of my favourite books of all time. Khaled's best book in my opinion. A masterpiece.

A absolutely brilliant book.
This is a story of poor, uneducated women who have to endure the hardships of life..
It had such a profound effect on me.
It's a well written, powerful amd emotional book.
Hosseini's books give a different perspective of life.
I would surely recommend this book to those who like to read beautiful and heartbreaking books.

This book was immediately engrossing. The character of Mariam initially drew me in and then as her story progressed I became equally invested in Laila and Tariq.
Set against the background of the troubles and rule of the Taliban in Afghanistan the book offer a small insight into what life may have been like. It's traumatic, emotional and harrowing in parts but ultimately uplifting and definitely worth the emotional investment.

This book is AMAZING!
