5.0

It feels wrong to rate this book, given how impactful it is. I cannot put into words how important it is to read this book, and a simple summarization/review feels redundant compared to the content. Khaled Hosseini first moved me with their book, Kite Runner, but A Thousand Splendid Suns takes the cake.
