A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
4.0
This book was an emotional page-turner. Hosseini is a skillful storyteller, and his language is reminiscent of a wizened elder sharing a story around a campfire. He imparts to the reader what it must feel like to live in that place and time. It shone a light on a part of our world culture that I wasn't entirely knowledgable about, and blended recent history, current events and brilliant fiction.
Definately worth a read--I have to admit, I may have liked this better than Kite Runner! In TSS, Hosseini really shows us very skillfully crafted characters. Also, I was astounded by how well he seems to understand the female psyche--it's rare you find a male author write a woman character so accurately.
At any rate, an enjoyable book, definately worth a read.
