A review by baudshaw
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

5.0

The book is very vulgar and disturbing, but I think it’s written extremely well. I would highly recommend it, so long as you’re not faint of heart. The dynamic between Miriam and Laila is the central highlight of the story. I love the strong motherly bond they have, and the myriad challenges they face in a horrible, repressive time. The plot is engaging from start to finish, covering the life of an entire person from childhood to death without feeling rushed.
