A Thousand Splendid Suns

by Khaled Hosseini

A great book. Disturbing, the abuse these women endured. Also hard for me to read of a mother who would control her child with so much guilt and fear. A necessary glimpse into the hard life of Afghanistan. It is rather long, but I read it in a few days, iwas eager to learn the fate of the characters. I have not read the kite runner, but plan to soon.
