From the time I picked up A Thousand Splendid Suns, I was unable to stop reading.  The historical writing by, Khaled Hosseini, was amazingly sad, and even with some liberties taken was what I would consider a book of Afghan and other Middle Eastern religious history and the wars that follow.

The choices of the woman and basically nill in this incredible read, and what they endure to protect their lives and their children is off the charts incredible!   

I cannot wait to to run out and buy The Kite Runner, also by Khaled Hosseini (an Afghan-American who moved to CA in 1980).
