A Thousand Splendid Suns

Incredible story about women enduring the personal and political struggles of living in Afghanistan. I believe I liked this even better than Hosseini's The Kite Runner, and that's a difficult feat! Another benefit of reading this book: the history of Afghanistan is explained from the viewpoint of the characters. One caveat: this story contains some intense scenes. Highly recommended.
