A Thousand Splendid Suns is a breathtaking story set against the volatile events of Afghanistan’s  		last thirty years—from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban  		to the post-Taliban rebuilding—that puts the violence, fear, hope, and  		faith of this country in intimate, human terms. It is a tale of two  		generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep  		of war, where personal lives—the struggle to survive, raise a family,  		find happiness—are inextricable from the history playing out around  		them. Propelled by the same storytelling instinct that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once a  		remarkable chronicle of three decades of Afghan history and a deeply  		moving account of family and friendship. It is a striking,  		heart-wrenching novel of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship,  		and an indestructible love—a stunning accomplishment


Damn good book.
