Favorite Book for the Month of August

My favorite book for the month of August is "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini. This is a beautiful book which is extremely well written. Easy to read and one of those books that is able to captivate the readers interest. This book brings into focus the hardship faced by those in Afghanistan over the years, especially women. The book talks about loss, unimaginably grief, death and despair, but even when faced with these terrible circumstances the characters in the book are able to overcome these hardships and find a way go on with their lives. This book highlights the importance of friendship, enduring love, kindness and the ability of the human spirit to eventually triumph. This is a book which will make you feel grateful for all that you have been blessed with in comparison to the people in Afghanistan. Definitely worth a read.
