A review by piltrafa
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

challenging dark emotional inspiring sad tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Soul-crushing. Unforgettable. Worth every second. I think about this book very very often.
