«Tausend strahlende Sonnen» is the novel by Khaled Hosseini published in hardback (381 pages, in German).
Two Afghan women of different generations and backgrounds, Mariam and Laila, end up united in the same household after marrying the same man, a violent and domineering shoemaker, in a Kabul marked by decades of war and the arrival of the Taliban regime. Between suffering and resistance, the two forge a deep bond that sustains them against a hostile reality.
The original work in English, «A Thousand Splendid Suns», was published in 2007; this German edition is its translation.
Recommended for book clubs and for readers of contemporary and historical fiction set in Afghanistan.
