About the book
In his first novel The Kite Runner, and now A Thousand Splendid Suns,
Khaled Hosseini writes about the Afghans caught in the middle of a
seemingly endless string of wars and battles for power. Both novels
paint a grim and moving picture of life in a war-torn country, and of
lives lived in the face of hunger, death and a bleak future. Hosseini
makes you realize that, even while bombs rain down and people are dying
of hunger, people still fall in love, seek friends and, mostly, try to remain human.
