Title : A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini - book

• Summary

After the immense success of the Kabul Kites : Khaled Hosseini's new novel. Set against a backdrop of chaos and violence in an Afghanistan torn apart by fifty years of conflict, the moving story of two women whose destinies intertwine, a poignant love song to a sacrificed land and a city: Kabul.

Forced to marry a man thirty years her senior, Mariam is unable to bear him a son. After eighteen years of submission to this brutal man, she must endure a new ordeal: the arrival under her own roof of Laila, a fourteen-year-old neighbor. Pregnant, Laila gives birth to a daughter. At first consumed by jealousy, Mariam eventually finds an ally in her rival. Both victims of their husband's violence and misogyny, they join forces to try to escape Afghanistan.

But will they ever manage to tear themselves away from this sacrificed Afghan land, and from their city, Kabul, the one that once hid behind its walls "a thousand splendid suns"?
