Hmmmm, maybe I need to re-read A Thousand Splendid Suns as I know I very much liked it when I read it the first time and gave it five starts, but I now can't remember anything about it.

Note: Read dates are an estimate.

I never felt this connected to a character from a book before, the way the story moves to different parts of life and people and the horrors of war is heartbreaking but so haunting at the same time, you keep reading about these characters and their lives is full of ups and downs and you’re thrown into this mixer of emotions that breaks your heart in the best way possible.
