Melissa Perreault and the Virtual Book Group will present a discussion
on A Thousand Splendid Suns by Kahled Hosseini.
Afghan-American novelist Hosseini follows up his bestselling The Kite
Runner with another searing epic of Afghanistan in turmoil. The story
covers three decades of anti-Soviet jihad, civil war and Taliban
tyranny through the lives of two women. His tale is a powerful,
harrowing depiction of Afghanistan, but also a lyrical evocation of
the lives and enduring hopes of its resilient characters. (May)
