RaveThe Chicago TribuneHosseini again illuminates the culture and struggles of the Afghan people, this time as they endure the Soviet invasion, clashing warlords and the emergence and dominance of the Taliban … A Thousand Splendid Suns is a riveting story of survival. The characters are vividly drawn, the relationships between the women are authentic and heartbreakingly believable. The descriptions of the lot of women under the Taliban are believable as well, yet at the same time unfathomable. But there is more than just sorrow and endurance in this book; there is love and hope for the future as well.
