A Thousand Splendid Suns

On Saturday I finished "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini. Wow. This one made me cry. It was so sad but so good. Now I know why everyone has recommended this book. I do, too. It's set in Afghanistan and the two main female characters both have the misfortune to be married to the same brute of a man. It's one of the best stories about friendship, male or female, that I've ever read. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, because I really think anyone who enjoys a good story should read this one. Suffice it to say, it had a lot of touching moments.
