Helpful Score: 1
I liked "A Thousand Splendid Suns" so much more than "The Kite Runner," although they shared the same brutally realistic view of life in Afghanistan. Although there are scenes in this nearly as bad as "the scene" in "The Kite Runner," they didn't quite hit that horrifying nerve. I think I also could empathize with the female characters in "TSS" more than the male characters in "KR."
Comparison aside, this is an amazing story of women surviving horrifying hardships. It is ultimately a story of love between friends, between a mother and her children, as well as romantic love.
I literally read this book in three or four evenings because I just didn't want to put it down.
