Best Review on Thousand Splendid Suns Khaled Hosseini
"The Kite Runner" was an elegant example of modern literature; with a new author writing fiction surrounded by the chaos and difficulty of the tribulations of Afghanistan. I learned so much from reading it.
Imagine my surprise when Hosseini's second novel, "A Thousand Splendid Suns" tells the tale of two unfortunate women, truly second class citizens of Afghanistan, caught in the maelstrom in the decades when the Soviet Union invaded; were defeated by the Mujahadeen; who were in turn displaced by the Taliban...the Taliban backing the forces of Al Quaeda, which brought the wrath of America down on Afghanistan after 9/11/2001.
With this backdrop, Hosseini describes the entwined lives of women of two generations, Mariam, born in the 50's, and Laila, born as the Soviets invaded. Brought together in a neighborhood that is destroyed by warfare, held together by a misogynist husband, Rasheed, Mariam and Laila are raised in diametrically different ways, but share a loss of hope and deprivation that will deeply affect most readers.
It is a story of love and faith in each other, in sacrifice and bloodshed that will stay with you long after you close the cover. And as you learn more about a world far away, a world that has been torn apart on the other side of the globe, you can't help but draw the parallel to what has and will happen to Iraq. Hosseini's love for his homeland, and his superb prose and characterization should keep this book on top of the charts, in line for many distinguished fiction awards, and in our memories for months and months to come.
Best book I've read this year!
I am in need of 10 significant quotes, explanations, and page numbers from the book A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. If anybody knows some just write them down below or if you know a good website with all this information.
BalasHapusA thousand splendid suns is the best book i will ever read and there is nothing as good as it. I hope soon Khaled Hosseini writes more just like them but in the mean time. Is there any book similar too that is good?
BalasHapusFor my summer reading project I have to find 10 significant quotes from the book A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. I have found a few, but i'm having a lot of trouble. If you could help me find quotes that would be awesome! Our quotes have to do with power or power relationships or friendship and betrayal. If you can't find quotes on that topic that is fine any quote is okay.
