A real depressing book. A stinker. No stars.

Couldn't wait to finish this depressing, unhappy tome. I found the life of an Afgan woman depressing. The history of Afganistan depressing. The people depressed by belief and custom. The historical backdrop and storyline carried me through this sorid tale. I thought I might try Kite Flyer but if it is three time as cheerful as this book I will dislike it.

Another wonderful book by this author. My heart aches for the women in this country and what they have to endure. Its pretty bad when you sneak and listen to a book when you are supposed to be working. I too cried, and my co workers are all asking me what was wrong.

Simply the best

Mariam of course. I was interesting to follow her life from a young girl living in poverty through her troubled life filled with sacrifices.

Not that I can remember, but, her narration was, in my opionion, one of the best.

The ultimate sacrifice that one wife gave to the other.

One of the best audio books I've ever listened to, bar none.

maybe

I have not read a simular story

not sure

it was very moving

it is a great read

The audio book did not work for me. The sound was choppy, and unlistenable

A fantastic,sad and moving story, beautifully written and read. I also loved The Kite Runner audio book

This novel really held my attention, but I did have to wonder if it ended too soon.

I very much enjoyed this book. I felt their pain as the story was told. A very strong and dynamic writer.

A thousand splendid suns gives insight into female oppression but is so slow it becomes background noise.
