A Thousand Splendid Suns 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 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. Propelled by the same storytelling instinct that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once a remarkable chronicle of three decades of Afghan history and a deeply moving account of family and friendship. It is a striking, heart-wrenching novel of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love -- a stunning accomplishment. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Arranged marriage $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Afghanistan $x Social conditions $v Fiction. 700 1 $a Leoni, Atossa. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11634602 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/sas_9780743567602_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006115706.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0B447A9CC93111E88539171297128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
