A Thousand Splendid Suns

This is super overdue. A book review on A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini.

This is the best book ever. I mean it. The description, according to Wikipedia is "It focuses on the tumultuous lives of two Afghan women and how their lives cross each other, spanning from the 1960s to 2003."

I cannot do this book justice with a review. I cannot describe this book and make it sound as amazing as it is.

This book is told by adding humans, lives, to the...changing Afghan government. It shows the little things in people's lives, like the "Titanic" fever that spread over the city of Kabul in the 1990's, and gave a heart to people that the rest of world seems to have forgotten.

I learned more from it than I ever have from any other book. Ever. I learned how to say shut up in Farsi (Chup ko) and about the Afghan government. I learned about the culture, and the clothing (not as restrictive as you'd think, due to stereotypes!).
