Reading: A Thousand Splendid Suns

As this book boldly states, in RED, this is by the same author that wrote "The Kite Runner". "The Kite Runner" is a timely and moving story of two boys growing up in tumultuous Afghanistan. I really liked that book but, to be honest, the ending left me a little sad. This new book by Hosseini, is about two WOMEN growing up in tumultuous Afghanistan. It is very moving and has a great ending. Although, at times, it was hard to read because I felt like these women could not suffer any more hardship, it made the happy moments they were able to enjoy that much sweeter.
I give it YYYY (out of five), the language was clean but there was some violence.
