![]() It takes place in Afghanistan from the end of the 1900s to the early 2000s. Make no mistake: this is a difficult book in terms of subject matter. It is exactly as harsh as it needs to be to convey the harshness of his subject matter, but it is somehow also gentle enough to work well describing a mother’s reaction to her newborn child. Hosseini’s writing is perfect for the stories he tells. But they are emotionally draining.Ī Thousand Splendid Suns is also excellent book, though I do prefer The Kite Runner. Hosseini’s books are really, really good. When I started A Thousand Splendid Suns, I kept thinking to myself, ‘why did it take me so long to read more of his books?’ By the time I finished, I knew the answer. It was impossible to put down, and I’d never read anything like it. I first read Khaled Hosseini my senior year of college, when I was assigned to read The Kite Runner. ![]()
