A Thousand Splendid Suns
Autor Khaled Hosseinien Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 mai 2007
Mariam
is
only
fifteen
when
she
is
sent
to
Kabul
to
marry
the
troubled
and
bitter
Rasheed,
who
is
thirty
years
her
senior.
Nearly
two
decades
later,
in
a
climate
of
growing
unrest,
tragedy
strikes
fifteen-year-old
Laila,
who
must
leave
her
home
and
join
Mariam's
unhappy
household.
Laila
and
Mariam
are
to
find
consolation
in
each
other,
their
friendship
to
grow
as
deep
as
the
bond
between
sisters,
as
strong
as
the
ties
between
mother
and
daughter.
With
the
passing
of
time
comes
Taliban
rule
over
Afghanistan,
the
streets
of
Kabul
loud
with
the
sound
of
gunfire
and
bombs,
life
a
desperate
struggle
against
starvation,
brutality
and
fear,
the
women's
endurance
tested
beyond
their
worst
imaginings.
Yet
love
can
move
a
person
to
act
in
unexpected
ways,
lead
them
to
overcome
the
most
daunting
obstacles
with
a
startling
heroism.
In
the
end
it
is
love
that
triumphs
over
death
and
destruction.
A
Thousand
Splendid
Sunsis
an
unforgettable
portrait
of
a
wounded
country
and
a
deeply
moving
story
of
family
and
friendship.
It
is
a
beautiful,
heart-wrenching
story
of
an
unforgiving
time,
an
unlikely
bond
and
an
indestructible
love.

Recenzii
'A
beautifully
crafted

disturbing

two
women
victims
of

heart'
'I loved this book - I couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. It is incredibly moving and a real insight into the madness and suffering of Afghanistan - in particular its women'
'Hosseini proves his credentials as a superstar storyteller. This follow up to The Kite Runner will have fans rampaging into bookshops desperate for their copy. Yet again he weaves a masterful story around the lives of two extraordinary and compelling characters brought together in adversity'
'From further east comes, at long last, Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns in which the universally adored author of The Kite Runner returns with a study of love and self-sacrifice in a modern Afghan family'
