Rezension von liathis book will forever hold a special place in my heart. from the first sentence on, and with every recurring motif, i was captivated. written so beautifully while telling a story that is beyond gut wrenching, angering and heartbreaking, “a thousand splendid suns“ is a must read – especially for women.
Rezension von JosiIt broke my heart because this is the world we live in. I finished the book and I don't know what to do with myself. Still, all I can think about is, what can I do? Because I should do something. Anything.

Rezension von DzenetaSprachlos wow seele rausgeheult 😔
Rezension von Nene"Kiss Aziza for me",she said. "Tell her she's the noor of my eyes and the sultan of my heart." Absolutely heartbreaking. "One last time Mariam did as she was told" "But the game involves only male names. Because , if it's a girl, Laila has already named her. How can someone write something so heartbreaking. And this whole thing is probably another woman's reality. Oh Lord, my heart and my prayers go out to woman who are living lives like this. Every women in this book was hurting. From Nana to Mariam to Laila. People are suffering. People are being met with death. War is absolutely terrifying. The fact that there are women somewhere living like Nana, Mariam, Laila's mother, Laila herself, Tariq, Aziza, Laila's dad, Izmai, just everyone is this book is absolutely heartbreaking. This book is also a great book history wise. I learned quite a lot about the Afghan story and I'm surprised most of the things I didn't even know or wouldn't even guessed like the soviets being in Afghanistan. This is a book I would recommend to anyone. It's absolutely amazing and let's you see things deeper than they are. My heart goes out to all the people in Afghanistan who are currently under the taliban their freedom robbed from them. This is painful.
