A Thousand Splendid Suns

Great book. Very sad. Tackles some more serious themes. Deals with abuse, suicide, war, murder, abortion, miscarriages, and other possibly triggering subjects. Beautiful writing style. If ypu like the kite runner you will like this.

Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to Kabul to marry Rasheed. Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a local teenager, Laila, as strong as the ties between mother and daughter. When the Taliban take over, life becomes a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear. Yet love can move a person to act in unexpected ways, and lead them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with a startling heroism.

The most refreshing and heartbreaking book I've read this year. Fixtion story that recount a monstrous tragedy. Khaled Hosseini is a wonderful author.
