A review by allthingsjennifer
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

5.0

I liked The Kite Runner, I loved the beginning but I felt like it all tied up too nicely at the end and that bothered me. However, I knew I enjoyed the authors storytelling and was excited to read his next novel. I picked this book up and did not but it down until I was finished and wiping tears from my eyes. I was engrossed with this story from start to finish. I LOVED this story.

I seem to enjoy the storytelling from two different perspectives. By the time I got to Part Two I really wanted to still be reading Part One...and by the time I got to Part Three, oh...that's when the story began.

Amist the war torn, ravaged country of Afghanistan the tale told in this book is rather simple. The story of two women and the lives they lead. The reality is plainly told and heartbreaking to bear.
