A thousand splendid suns

After finishing reading the kite runner by Khaled Hosseini, Ms. Healey recommended me another similar fiction written by him: a thousand splendid suns. I began to read the summary and the first few sections of this book, but it is so attractive, Khaled is so good at using simple words to describe great feelings. No words in his book is redundant. The novel centers around the friendship between Mariam and Laila, two afghan women who were told to endure as many other other afghan women have learned since they were young. Khaled Hosseini in the "a thousand splendid suns" shows how the Afghan women have to endure for all sorts of half a century.  These women have to endure hunger and sickness, they also have to be patient enough when they are endure all of them. Families have to endure the effects that the war refugees displaced from their home while the whole country has to endure the war of Soviet Union. This book is a history of Afghanistan's patience. Just like the kite runner, Khaled used normal story to describe extraordinary meanings.
