We will be talking about Khaled Hosseini's newest book A
Thousand Splendid Suns, which is "a breathtaking story set against the
volatile events of Afghanistan's last thirty years—from the Soviet
invasion to the reign of the Taliban to the post-Taliban
rebuilding—that puts the violence, fear, hope, and faith of this
country in intimate, human terms. It is a tale of two generations of
characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war,
where personal lives—the struggle to survive, raise a family, find
happiness—are inextricable from the history playing out around them"
(excerpted from khaledhosseini.com).
