"Like a compass needle that points north, a man's accusing finger always finds a WOMAN."


Have you ever endured the unendurable?

Here was a book presented to each of us who gritted every literal and figurative pains that we braved each passing time. Written for us by an author who captured humanity's ironies and emotions into one binding story that a reader shall never forget.

A very moving story of two Afghan women, both shattered and ironically unified by years of war, fear, crooked interpretations of the Koran by the people and seems like a Godless society. Each had given a very important role to one another. And each of them endured the unendurable. Both suffered in the hands of a husband. Realized that, either way, their lives outside and their lives inside a home were both dangerous and both cruel.

I wept during and after I read this book. If you love women as you love your mother or girlfriend or a friend, you shall love and respect them more and more until the last breath you exhaled. They are meant to be loved and respected more than just a thousand splendid suns.

Such a powerful and moving book. Highly recommended!

Khaled Hosseini, author of the highly acclaimed "The Kite Runner", DID IT AGAIN!

Napaka simple niyang magsulat. From the first line up to the last word, it will capture your heart.
