Why we think it’s a great listen: Never before has an author’s narration of his fiction been so important to fully grasping the book’s impact and global implications. Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of its monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them.

It's just a small story really, about, among other things, a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist: books.

Lakshmi is a thirteen-year-old girl who lives with her family in a small hut on a mountain in Nepal. Though she is desperately poor, her life is full of simple pleasures, like playing hopscotch with her best friend from school and having her mother brush her hair by the light of an oil lamp. But when the harsh Himalayan monsoons wash away all that remains of the family's crops, Lakshmi's stepfather says she must leave home and take a job to support her family.

Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is 12, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.

Description
Born a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family, Mariam and Laila are two women brought jarringly together by war, by loss, and by fate. As they endure the ever-escalating dangers around them, in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul, they come to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own lives but of the next generation. With heart-wrenching power and suspense, Hosseini shows how a woman's love for her family can move her to shocking and heroic acts of self-sacrifice, and that in the end it is love, or even the memory of love, that is often the key to survival.
A stunning accomplishment, A Thousand Splendid Suns is a haunting, heartbreaking, compelling story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Another searing epic....[Hosseini's] tale is a powerful, harrowing depiction of Afghanistan, but also a lyrical evocation of the lives and enduring hopes of its resilient characters." (Publishers Weekly)
"Unimaginably tragic, Hosseini's magnificent second novel is a sad and beautiful testament to both Afghani suffering and strength. Readers who lost themselves in The Kite Runner will not want to miss this unforgettable follow up." (Booklist)

poignant. terrible. love this book.
The narrator is terrific. The story kind of slow and boring thru the first half, but without my noticing, I was hooked and fell in love with the characters (truly hate a few of them forever as well). I cried too much. Had far too much empathy and confused what-are-you-doings, but do believe that's one of the joys of reading: that we can learn about other people and the ways of others and hopefully become better people ourselves as a result of the journey.
A really good book. Really good. This one will be with me for a very long time.

A stunner of a book!
This was a wonderful book. I listened to it on Audible, and I think it would have been better to read it, but the narrator did a good job. This is a story of two strong women who were part of the history of Afghanistan for the past 30 years, from the Russian takeover to the Taliban and beyond. I have to admit that I put off reading this book because I didn't think it would measure up to The Kite Runner, but it did and then some. This is a story of two strong women who are thrown together under very stressful circumstances. Miriam was 15 years old when she was bequeathed to a much older man. She left a home where she did not get along with her mother, but adored her father and brother. She became pregnant and lost her baby, and many others besides. Her husband was a brutal man and shunned Mariam. When another young girl is brought into her home as a second wife, Mariam.did not allow herself to get attached to Laila until Rasheed, their husband, started beating and abusing her as well. A strong alliance is formed between these two women and Laila's two children are also part of the bond, and inevitably, when something horrible happens, they align themselves together. This is a gut-wrenching and difficult story to read and in my case, listen to. But it is a story that must be told. Hosseini has done a marvellous job with this story, and it has become a modern classic. His characters are so real, and his history elements so exact. I am sorry I waited so long to read this book. I fell in love with Miriam and Laila and marvelled at their strength and forbearance.

Incredible story and narration.
This is a beautiful novel and introduced me to a world I would not have known about. I must also compliment the narrator. Her reading was so lovely and flawless. It made the novel even more enjoyable. She’s very talented.

A heartwarming yet heartbreaking story of love, violence and war
The story is one of joy, hope, heartbreak, violence and redemption. When I bought it I saw that someone had complained of the narrator’s accent. I think her mild English accent adds to the imagery, to the story, and brings life to the characters. I enjoyed it a great deal.

Beautifully tragic, amazing story and narrator
I first read this book as mandatory reading in twelfth grade. Now, many years later, I listened to it again on a road trip across Canada. It's always stuck with me as one of the most well-written books I've ever encountered. The narrator does an exceptional job with this audiobook. Some reviews said the narrator's accent can be hard to understand at times however I had no issues with it. I'm very glad they got someone with the proper accent to do the audiobook instead of an American. Beautiful narration and beautifully tragic book. I'll always give this book 5 stars.

so conflicted
The story was amazing. At first I almost lost interest because of the narrator. I understand accents I live in a multicultural country, but the pronunciation of some words was so harsh I was turned off the book and hedged on not finishing. An example would be if the word were 'greedy' the narrator said 'gweedy'. I get that people have accents and embrace as much but given your stature as an author I can't fathom that you couldn't have found one person that spoke English and whatever other language that wouldn't have bastardized this so badly?
For those of you still reading. I loved it. I was holding my breath at times wondering what would happen next.
My conclusion is that if you're reading this in print you'll be amazed. If you're listening to the audio book you might be annoyed but it's well worth finishing it off!!

Heart rending
As a Dutch immigrant’s son, growing up in Canada, and marrying a daughter of an angry Muslim man, I am quite aware of the Rashid character and what he represents to my wife’s history. Had her father not died I wouldn’t have had the privilege of marrying her. The world needs to understand that in most cases the hijabs and Bourkas are subjugation of women.
Very well presented and incredibly well written story that I think should be mandatory high school literature on all reading lists.
I recommend it highly.
