Book Review of A Thousand Splendid Suns

A Thousand Splendid Suns
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews


This is perhaps one of the best books I have ever read. I couldn't put it down and ended up reading the entire book in one day. I found it hard to believe Hosseini is a male because he writes with such perspective from the female point of view. This is a story about a woman who became the wife of a man who decided to take a second wife. The jockeying for position in the home ends up making them friends. My husband even read this book and he was blown away by it. An excellent read for anyone, but for women in particular.
