    Khaled Hosseini`s bestselling debut novel THE KITE RUNNER told of the bond and betrayal that linked two young Afghani boys, and showed how their personal and political history affected their lives and the lives of their children. In his second novel A THOUSAND A SPLENDID SUNS Hosseini shows the tenuous alliance made between two Afghan women who are both married to the same brutal older man. Miriam, an illegitimate daughter, is 15 when she is married to Rasheed. Years later he takes another wife, the orphaned 14-year old Laila. Together, the two women, subjugated by culture and circumstance, must find a way to survive and protect that most-precious of commodities: hope.

A Thousand Splendid Suns

lmtakis from Seattle, WA, Feb 28, 2009

I loved the story and it was great to be able to listen to it on the bus. The speaker was wonderful. The only problem I had was downloading the first disc to my computer and then to my MP3 player. I was eventually able to fix the problem but it took some time. The other discs were fine.

Great book; great writer

Joan65 from GA, Mar 31, 2008

This is the kind of book that stays with you long after you have read it. The author is from Afghanistan (The Kite Runner) and he uses his deep knowledge of the country's traditions to weave an O'Henry-like tale of two women trying to survive their lowly place in society. You wil not be able to stop listening to this beautifully told story nor wait to see how it ends.
