RELEASE NOTES:
I'm glad that I took a break from The Kite Runner before reading this book. This book has a different level of intensity than The Kite Runner, but has the same wonderful writing quality and page-turner element to it.
I love the format of the story, describing the background of each character and bringing them together in different parts of the story.
It was a hard story to read at some points and I felt myself needing to know what came next all the time. A wonderful read!

This book did not touch me as much as The Kite Runner did. When I read the Kite Runner, I felt that it was autobiographical, though I knew it was not, because the author wrote of the protagonist's thoughts and feelings so intimately. I did not get that same sense from A Thousand Splendid Suns.
The part that touched me the most was feeling the plight of women in Afghanistan under the Taliban, how little control they have over their lives, and how hopeless it must be for them.
