A Thousand Splendid Suns

Love is a great feeling. Deeply concealed, forbidden, secret, it will still wait for its hour. This is the new novel by Khaled Hosseini, which became the main world bestseller in 2007. 
At the center of the novel are two women... who became 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 happy family, dreaming of an interesting and beautiful life. They have nothing in common, they live in different worlds that 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 themselves do not know who they are – enemies, friends, or sisters. But alone they cannot survive, 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 happiness, which they will one day try to break through. 
"A Thousand Splendid Suns" is a powerful, dramatic, and lyrical story that makes hearts ache with pain and joy. It is a noble and generous book.
