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. 650 $a Afghanistan $x Fiction. 650 $a Audiobooks. 650 $a Domestic fiction. 650 $a Families $x Fiction. 650 $a Family sagas $x Fiction. 650 $a Intergenerational relations $x Fiction. 650 $a Loss (Psychology) $x Fiction. 700 $a Leoni, Atossa. 856 $u http://wilbor.lib.overdrive.com/ContentDetails.htm?ID=F1936FC5-B35F-4C10-8072-85B11512E693 $3 URL 941 $a 2 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20111119011116.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20101023011155.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=121A1E08DE6B11DF9C83A1F56AFF544EInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
