And I have no idea how to talk about it. Just that it made me feel things, I liked the writing, especially the atmosphere that was created. It's just a very depressing book. Not only the things that happen to the characters (and why!) but also the history of Afghanistan you get a small glimpse of.
I personally like the way the plot is constructed, the middle part is a little long-winded, though.

I honestly can not put into words how great this book is, and recommend everyone to read it if you're able to. Many TW's needed, some are; sexual abuse, violence, death, grief, war negligence and abuse.
One thousand splendid suns is on my bookshelf but it's going to be a while until I pick up a Hosseini book again...
