Description: Born in Afghanistan a generation apart, Mariam and Laila are brought together by war, by loss and by fate. As they endure the escalating dangers around them, they form a bond that will alter the course of their lives and the lives 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.

From the author of the Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns is a haunting, heartbreaking, compelling story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love--a stunning accomplishment.
