A Thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini is a well known book. The story highlights the hardships of woman in Afghanistan. The story takes place between the years 1960-2005, drawing major references to the actual events that took place in Afghanistan during that timeline.
A thought provoking and mind blowing read only hardest of hearts can fail to move. A saga of two woman fighting against all odds, after having faced them, this shows us that behind every burqa there is a human being .
What's truly amazing about Hosseini's writing is the depiction of the war and its effects through these characters. The story describes the state of Afghanistan when soviets invaded the country, when Babrak Kamral formed a puppet government and how the Taliban took control of the country. It has both; the drama a reader needs, along with some truth to them .This is what truly makes it a page turner.
The book explores Laila and Mariam's relationship and their courage to stay strong in an unfair world.
It sends out a message that even when life seems unkind love and compassion can do miracles.
