Acerca de este libro
A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini tells a captivating story of two Afghan women, Mariam and Laila, whose lives intertwine amidst the turbulent backdrop of Afghanistan's history. Hosseini's evocative prose takes us on a compelling journey, exploring themes of love, friendship, and resilience in the face of adversity. As the women navigate the oppressive patriarchy, war, and loss, they find solace and strength in their unwavering bond. Through their experiences, the novel sheds light on the harsh realities faced by Afghan women, while also portraying their indomitable spirit and capacity for hope. A Thousand Splendid Suns is a poignant and powerful testament to the human spirit, leaving a lasting impression of the courage and endurance that can flourish even in the most challenging circumstances.
Resumen
After 103 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and with four million copies of The Kite Runner shipped, Khaled Hosseini returns with a beautiful, riveting, and haunting novel that confirms his place as one of the most important literary writers today.
Propelled by the same superb instinct for storytelling that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once an incredible chronicle of thirty years of Afghan history and a deeply moving story of family, friendship, faith, and the salvation to be found in love.
Born a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family, Mariam and Laila are two women brought jarringly together by war, by loss and by fate. As they endure the ever escalating dangers around them-in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul-they come to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own lives but of the next generation. With heart-wrenching power and suspense, Hosseini shows how a woman's love for her family can move her to shocking and heroic acts of self-sacrifice, and that in the end it is love, or even the memory of love, that is often the key to survival.
A stunning accomplishment, A Thousand Splendid Suns is a haunting, heartbreaking, compelling story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love.
