The End Result

Originally I was considering changing my book halfway through, because I was seriously disturbed by a few scenes. However, I am the kind of person who cannot put a book down when they start and in the end was grateful for it. A Thousand Splendid Suns was a beautifully written story that informed me of not only the history of Afghanistan within the last thirty years but also their culture and religion. Reading the book made me so much more appreciative of my country and freedoms as an individual and more specifically as a woman.
