A Thousand Splendid Suns

Just finished reading this novel, the second novel from Khaled Hosseini, after the Kite Runner, read few months before and got really touched. Started reading this book few months ago, during my traveling to Iran, but it took so long to finish the reading, since the story was so sad, I guess. But when continuing reading, the story got more and more interesting, though still sad, told the reality of wars after wars in Afganistan, and the sorrow of women especially during Taliban period. The story started with the story of one of the two main characters, Mariyam, and then switched suddenly to the story of the other heroin, Laila, and then how the fate made them together. Though I like the Kite Runner better, maybe because I am a boy, and had some similar experience with the friendship the Kite Runner, I like the ending of this book better. And the book gave me some knowledge about Afganistan women. Also the book made me have interest in war refugee. Recommended.
