Second re-read. A Thousand Splendid Suns was so eye-opening to me the first time that I read it and it is such a rich and beautiful book. It made me think of the women in Afghanistan and all that they endured because of not only war but because of the brutal and restrictive regime of the Taliban. Even in the present, it is so devastating to think of all the women under the Taliban. I don't think I could do justice in words to how tragic these events are. A very abrupt ending because i truly am at a loss of words for how tragic it is
