I read The Kite Runner about a year ago, and fell in love with Hosseini's writing style. A Thousand Splendid Suns does not disappoint. He manages to develop a number of characters in a relatable, believable, and realistically complex way, while painting the landscape of a war torn country. Hope, loss, struggle, and survival are the themes prevalent in this book. Can't wait for him to come out with another. Highly recommended.
