But then, as the story moves ahead, it becomes clear. This part is difficult to understand and hard to relate to. In the start, the author tells us about Mariam’s early life. But he carries it out well without making the reader feel like there are loose ends that need to be tied.Īnd, then the plot. Not many authors can carry out this kind of style. And, that makes his style interesting and curious. But then, as the reader moves ahead, they notice that he has been leaving small hints as to what actually happened. And it’s up to readers’ imagination to interpret what happened. What he does is, he leaves a part of the plot on a cliffhanger. The writing style of Khaled Hosseini is different. Then, moving on to the authors’ writing style.

Starting with the cover and the title of the book, they both are attractive and relatable to what is happening in the book. But the author does it soo flawlessly and that is amazing. It is very hard to blend stories of different generations, especially when they are nearly 30 years apart. The most amazing thing about this book is the blending of the stories of two completely different generations. And now that I have read it, I can definitely say that it is an awesome book. I have heard a lot about Khaled Hosseini’s books on Instagram. *This book has mentions war, abuse, and violence. This book is an amazing story of unforgettable and unforgiving times. And, it is their story of surviving through Russian invasions and Taliban rule in Afghanistan. But then, they both are bought together by war, loss, and fate. And this story is about two women, Mariam and Laila who are born decades apart. It tells us about 30 years of Afghan history.

This book, A Thousand Splendid Suns, portrays the lives of people in Afghanistan especially the women.
