I
like reading a book more than anything. Though now days I don’t get
enough time to read. Hmm I guess, “I don’t have time” seems like a
decent enough excuse. Priorities make us so busy that we left with less
or no time for our likings. Still somehow I manage to take out sometime
for it especially when I get an interesting one.

Born
a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family,
Mariam and Laila are two women brought in a same situation together by
war, by loss and by fate. As they under goes the ever escalating
dangers around them in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul,
they come to form a bond that makes them both , friends, sisters or
mother-daughter whatever we name the relation, which ultimately alter
the course not just of their own lives but of the next generation. With
heart-wrenching power and suspense, Hosseini shows how a woman's love
for her family can move her to shocking and heroic acts of
self-sacrifice, and that in the end it is love, or even the memory of
love, that is often the key to survival.
After
reading Hosseini's gripping, heart-wrenching story, it is impossible to
ignore the fact that people in Middle East and Afghanistan in
particular men, women, and children just like you and me are living
these horrors every day. I encourage you to read “A Thousand Splendid
Suns”. It may be fiction, but its message is true and will be true for
all time: we all deserve happiness and live our life in our own way,
even in impoverished rural towns and faraway deserts. I enjoyed the
story, cared what happened, learned more about the countries I've only
gotten to read about in newspapers and the book breathed life into an
otherwise unclear world. Hate to make the comparison, but I liked it
even more than The Kite Runner. This is one unforgettable and
provocative epic tale, one novel that everyone should read.
