Dear Khaled Hosseini,
Wow! This weekend I finally finished your book, A Thousand Splendid Suns, and I loved it! It was a powerful, inspiring novel that moved me and opened my eyes to a tragic story that is an awful reality for many Afghan women. I must say I was doubting how much I would like this book at first. My Mom has been bugging me to read this and The Kite Runner, your other novel, for months but I've kept putting it off. It just didn't seem like the type of book I would enjoy. But boy was I wrong! I loved this story and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I looked forward to reading it each week.
Mariam and Laila's stories were both so different to begin with, and yet the way they intertwined in the middle was so cool! They experienced two completely different childhoods, but they were still able to connect as women and form and unbreakable bond within their terrible situation. Their friendship was so wonderful to read about. I loved that they supported each other and stuck up for one another, especially when Rasheed was involved. It seems so strange to me--two women forced under the same roof because they share a husband. They start out despising each other but grow to be best friends, almost sisters. It's such a crazy situation, unimaginable for me, a teenage girl growing up in modern America. But in spite of these core differences, I was able to relate to and empathize with Laila and Mariam in some ways too.
Even though I enjoyed the whole book, the ending hit me the most. I was completely shocked when Tariq showed up on Laila's doorstep. I mean obviously I had been hoping that he wasn't really dead the whole time, but I never actually thought it would happen! I can't believe Rasheed-what a terrible thing to do, to lie to Laila about something as serious as the death of her very best friend! I cannot imagine the anger I would feel if I was ever betrayed like that. And then, Mariam kills Rasheed! Just when I thought I couldn't be surprised anymore, Mariam gets some guts out of nowhere and shovels Rasheed to death! I was cheering for her when she did that for being so bold and finally taking matters into her own hands, even though murder is a horrible crime. Rasheed may have been a horrible, mean, scum of a person but he still didn't deserve death. I guess in their situation it was the only solution that Mariam saw possible. And I really respect the way she took the blame for the whole thing just so Laila, Tariq, and the children can live in peace and happiness.
Overall, this was an extremely moving and inspirational novel. I know the story will stay with me for years. And now I can't wait to read The Kite Runner!
Sincerely,
A-Rod
