A review by kerrkween
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

5.0

As much as I loved The Kite Runner for its insight into life in a country unfamiliar to me and the human experience we all share, I deeply appreciate the addition of the female perspective of the same culture and time period. I am always fascinated when an author seems able to capture and effectively convey contrasting points of view. I found myself as profoundly immersed in the lives and struggles of Mariam and Laila as I had been those of Amir and Hassan in this author’s first novel.
