*A Thousand Splendid Suns
2 journalers for this copy...
A beautifully written description of life, culture, politics and customs in Afganistan. I learned a lot about local factions and warlords, oppression from other countries and religious differences. In a male dominated society, a story seen through the eyes of 2 women, both unhappily married to the same man and how they learn to work together and earn the trust and respect of one another. No American can put themselves in these characters place, but it's a great story and current to today's news.

RELEASE NOTES:
I was leaving Filippi's Pizza with my daughters (4 & 7yrs) and my wife when I noticed a book on top of the pay phone outside. I went over and picked it up and was surprised to see that it was a book by the same author as a book my wife had just givin me. Upon opening it and reading the note I decided to capture it. It shall be re-released shortly to continue its travels.
