A book that touched my heart.............


There can be no other best way to keep your mind fresh then reading a good book....well but sometimes u get (atleast me) confused which one should be(book) next.........
well encountering one such incident when i was stuck in a dilemma on which book should be next in my library when i came across the book...A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS...author KHALED HOSSEINI
To be very honest i was'nt impressed by its summary but it was the author's name that forced me to make a space in my shelf for this book.And fortunately the book was awesome.....
The story revolves around the lives of two unfortunate Afghan women LAILA and MARIAM and how their lives cross each other,while you read the book u come across the fact that Afghanistan was once a beautiful place to live in and how fate have changed it into a war zone. It describe's how women there are subjugated.The best part to learn from the book is even after disaster and only disaster people there have not given up living,love and hope still survives which is told through the eyes of Laila.The book also explains the history of Afghanistan.
The writing has the emotional touch that will rip your heart,and tears will just flow out of your eyes.
If you are looking for a novel which will not only make you cry but also smile at the end you surely go for this one.....
This tragic,unfortunate,painful and not so happy book has seriously touched my heart........
