A Thousand Splendid Suns

Thus far in the history of the Readers Roundtable, the book Kite Runner seems to be the only unanimous favorite. Now, author Khaled Hossieni has a new book coming out on May 22, called A Thousand Splendid Suns. (The library has copies on order and you can place a hold now.)

Find out more about the book on Hossieni's website:

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 the post-Taliban rebuilding—that puts the violence, fear, hope, and faith of this country in intimate, human terms.
