A Thousand Splendid Suns Review

This novel was an excellent follow up of The Kite Runner.  I especially enjoyed learning more from the female perspective.  The Author does a great job of thoroughly introducing the reader into the lives of each of the primary characters before the story weaves their lives together.  My heart was broken for each main character and remains broken for the many women who live in this constant state of fear and despair.

Educational, heart wrenching and very well constructed novel.  I would recommend this book to anyone interested in learning more about Afghanistan, men or women.  It is not appropriate for readers younger than 15 due to some graphic violence and language.
