A Thousand Splendid Suns

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

At first I wondered if all the clamor about this book was worth it. However, I enjoyed this book even more than the Kite Runner (partially, I think, because the main characters were women). The story is well written and flows smoothly. I was quickly drawn into the lives of the main characters, though the more tragic details of their lives were a heartrending read. This book is worth checking out from the library, especially given current world events.
