A Thousand Splendid Suns

Love is a great feeling. Deeply hidden, forbidden, secret, it will wait for its moment. This is what Khaled Hosseini's new novel is about, which became the world's main bestseller in 2007. 
At the center of the novel are two women... who have become victims of the upheavals that destroyed idyllic Afghanistan. Mariam is the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy businessman, who has known misfortune since childhood, feeling her own doom from an early age. Leila, on the contrary, is the beloved daughter in a loving family, dreaming of an interesting and beautiful life. They have nothing in common, they live in different worlds, which were not meant to intersect, if not for the fiery storm of war. From now on, Leila and Mariam are bound by the closest ties, and they do not even know who they are - enemies, friends, or sisters. But alone they cannot survive, they cannot withstand the medieval despotism and cruelty that have flooded the streets and homes of what was once a flourishing city. Together, they will go through suffering, together they will catch the unexpected grains of joy, together they will dream of the happiness they will one day try to break into. 
"A Thousand Splendid Suns" is a powerful, dramatic, and lyrical story that makes hearts contract with pain and joy. It is a noble and generous book.
