viguinha 's review for:
A Thousand Splendid Suns
by Khaled Hosseini
There is only one, only one skill a woman like you and me needs in life, and they don't teach it in school. Only one skill. And it's this: tahamul. Endure.
This is a gorgeous book. I have a hard time crying at a book but this one managed to pull it off. It's all the more bittersweet to read post 2021, when the Taliban have once again returned to power in Afghanistan. And yet, the brunt of the burden the main characters endure comes not directly from above, but rather from their own homes, trapped in a marriage to a vile, vicious man. In the midst of it all, it still pulls off a beautiful love story between two young sweethearts, as well as a touching depiction of the relationship between mothers and daughters. Easy 5-star rating.
