A review by klarabelle
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
5.0
A masterpiece! The spectrum of emotions that this story elicited, mainly sadness, disbelief and anger, has left me feeling heavy and hollow at once. While the story is fictional, it is a realistic depiction of the experiences that Afghan women may face. The character and story/world building was exceptional, as were the depth of the relationships, which had the effect of emotionally teleporting me into their lives.
Three months later, I still think of this story, and of Miriam as if she were a real person, and mourn the tragedy of her life and death. I will never get over this book, and it currently sits on the throne of my most favoured. It will take something extraordinary to pip it from its post.
