Beschreibung

Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to Kabul to marry the troubled and bitter Rasheed, who is thirty years her senior. Nearly two decades later, in a climate of growing unrest, tragedy strikes fifteen-year-old Laila, who must leave her home and join Mariam's unhappy household. Laila and Mariam are to find consolation in each other, their friendship to grow as deep as the bond between sisters, as strong as the ties between mother and daughter.

With the passing of time comes Taliban rule over Afghanistan, the streets of Kabul loud with the sound of gunfire and bombs, life a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear, the women's endurance tested beyond their worst imaginings. Yet love can move people to act in unexpected ways, lead them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with a startling heroism. In the end it is love that triumphs over death and destruction.

"A Thousand Splendid Suns" is a portrait of a wounded country and a story of family and friendship, of an unforgiving time, an unlikely bond, and an indestructible love.

Eine unglaublich schöne und Herz zerreissende Geschichte. Sehr angenehme Erzählerwechsel, welche dazu führen, dass die Gefühlswelt des Lesenden vollkommen wird. Wunderschöne Charaktere machen den Roman zu etwas besonderem. Vor allem kann man von diesem Buch lernen. Auf historischer sowie insbesondere auf menschlicher Ebene.

Yet another heartbreaking book by Khaled Hosseini. The story of these two afghan women was deeply moving and at times it was hard to continue reading as it was very emotional. The history of afghanistan is so full of war and conflict it is truly terrible. Yet the people in afghanistan, and especially the women, always find a way to survive and to go in, to build a new life. They are all so strong and brave.Reading about all the hope in the end of the book and knowing that years later everything will get destroyed again, women will lose their rights yet another time, made me feel so sad and furious. The people finally had hope to live a more peaceful live and rebuild their country after decades of conflict but it sadly is not supposed to last long. Khaled Hosseini really has a talent for crafting moving tales and giving Afghanistan a voice, a voice that showes the beauty of the country but also the dark, terrible history and hopefully leads to more empathy with the innocent people of the country.
