A Thousand Splendid Suns — Novel by Khaled Hosseini

Well, because it makes you realize many things. You get to know more about terrors and soviets — Afghan war.

Thousand splendid suns is simply a magnanimous book by Khaled Hosseini. The way he plotted the characters is applaudable. Mariam is an innocent girl who has immense love, respect and cares for his father Jalil than her mother Nana. The situation turns around and becomes worse as the years move on.

On the other side Laila, a matured and educated girl, always thinks about her career and progress.

The story elevates when these different paths meet and become the victims of the Taliban attacks. Then How these two girls stood up, endures starvation and fought against the attacks is all the story is about.
The book carries a lot of emotion with it. It also shows the suffering of people due to the wars and terrors in Afghanistan. Millions of people have died and there were thousands of refugees. Respect for women has grown personally.

To conclude, thousand splendid suns is a must-read if you are looking for a great novel. I am sure after reading, you will feel in deep heart for the tragedy that happened with the people of Afghanistan due to the war.

Cheers !
