A Thousand Splendid Suns

Finished reading "A Thousand Splendid Suns". A book I strongly recommend. But, grab the tissues. It is a heart-wrenching tragic story about two women. A story set in Afghanistan. A bit slow to start, but I liked that it provided political history of the country which set the scene for major affects on the lives of ordinary people. At the same time, it didn't bore the reader with the details.

A big thanks to Pooja for buying it for me, as it is unlikely that I would have picked it up otherwise.
