Editorial Reviews
Marie Claire
`Explores the turbulent history of modern Afghanistan through the lives of two young characters'
The Times
`The novel offers extraordinarily harrowing insights into the lives of Afghan women over the past three decades .... If he cut his teeth by writing about his countrymen, it is the plight of Afghanistan's women that has brought him to realise his full powers as a novelist'
London Paper Book of the Week
`Hosseini has stuck with his winning formula: compelling, unflashy storytelling centred around two sympathetic protagonists struggling in difficult times ... nothing beats a good story'
Customer Reviews
It actually made me cry!
Never before have I cried over a book.
It had me captivated the whole time - thoroughly recommended!
A heart breaking yet heart warming story of love and sacrifice
This author has a gift for storytelling - I couldn't put this book down and my heart was racing to find out what would happen next. Highly recommended
Wonderful, sensitively - written story
A Thousand Splendid Suns was a great read; I just couldn't put it down. The characterisation was really good and a real empathy for the characters built up. I became really anxious as I was nearing the end in case some other tragedy befell the characters. The 'happy' ending brought tears to my eyes.
