A thousand shining suns. Hosseini Kh.

"Love" is a great feeling. Deeply covered, forbidden, secret, she will still wait in the wings. About this the new novel by Khaled Hosseini, who in 2007 became the main world bestseller. This book is also about friendship between people who, it would seem, can only be enemies, about the hidden contradictions between parents and children, about the stamina of meek hearts. In the center of the novel are two women who were victims of upheavals that destroyed peaceful Afghanistan. Mariam is an illegal daughter of a wealthy businessman who, from childhood, has known what misfortune is, from an early age, sensing their own doom. Leila is on the contrary, a beloved daughter in a friendly family, dreaming of an interesting and beautiful life. There is nothing in common between them, they live in different worlds, which would not be destined to cross, if not for the fiery flurry of war. From now on, Leila and Mariam are connected by the closest bonds, and they themselves do not know who they are - enemies, friends or sister. But alone they can’t survive in the distraught world, they can not survive before medieval despotism and cruelty, flooding the streets and the houses of the once cozy city. Together they will pass through suffering, together I will catch the unexpected grains of joy, together they will dream of happiness, to which they once try to break through. “A thousand shining suns” is a powerful, dramatic and lyrical story that makes the hearts shrink with pain and joy. This is a noble and generous book. The new novel by Haled Hosseyni received in 2007 the reader Choice in the United States and Great Britain.
