a thousand splendid suns - Khaled Hosseini

Similar to his other book the kite runner this book is full of details about afghanistan. It is unbelievable the two women in the book can bare with all the terror they come across. Of course it ends kind of with a happy ending, though, as in the kite runner, it has a bitter aftertaste. Sometimes he skips to tell something, and that makes it a bit strange (like how did Laila en Tariq leave Kabul to Pakistan, as it was difficult the previous times). And how come they didn't go after Laila and only punished Mariam? It is a nice book, but sometimes I missed the connection to the main characters, but that can also be because it is so not in my reality.
