Book: A Thousand Splendid Suns
Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to Kabul to marry Rasheed. Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a local teenager, Laila, as strong as the ties between mother and daughter. When the Taliban take over, life becomes a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear. Yet love can move a person to act in unexpected ways, and lead them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with a startling heroism.
Book Reviews of A Thousand Splendid Suns
*Manifestation of harsh reality
Review by Uttam Bora
"Thousand Splendid suns" is more of a manifeatation of harsh reality and agony that prevailed in Kabul during its worst time. It vividly portrays the plight of people, especially woman when the time was Talibanised. Hosseini is fairly successful in showing the audacity and sacrifice of a woman for her love.....
*Breath catching reality..
