Love is a great feeling. Deeply covered, forbidden, secret, she will still wait in the wings. About this Roman Khaled Hosseyni. And also about friendship between people who seemed to be only enemies.
Mariam is an illegal daughter of a wealthy businessman who, since childhood, has known what misfortune is, from an early age, sensing their own doom. Leila, on the contrary, is 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 sisters. But they can’t survive alone, do not survive before medieval despotism and cruelty, flooding the once blooming city.
The novel by Khaled Hosseini is unimaginably tragic and irresistibly beautiful as the Old Testament story. Readers who were bribed by his first novel “Running behind the Wind” will love “A thousand shining suns” …
