This is a story of 2 generations of characters brought together by the tragedy of the War in Afghanistan during the last 30 years. The story shows their struggles to survive and raise a family during these difficult times. While this book will brings tears to your eyes at times and break your heart it is a great book.
Buy A Thousand Splendid Suns
In 1632 the Emperor of Hindustan ordered the building of a grand mausoleum to symbolize the greatness of love between him and his wife. His daughter, Jahanara, tells this extraordinary story of how the Taj Mahal came to be. I loved this book and I couldn’t put it down.

A little about me and my site. I was born and raised in a suburb of Chicago. I spent some time at the University of Madison in Wisconsin and then graduated from Northeastern University in Chicago with a degree in Human Resources. I have lived in Florida, Milwaukee and currently I live in St. Louis Mo.( for almost 20 years). I worked for Jenny Craig for 13 years and it was a wonderful experience where I met a lot of great people and got to travel around the country for 6 of those years. s. I have been married for 13 years and have two wonderful children. I love to read and find there is just never enough time to get to all the great books out there. About 5 years ago I got the idea that I should start keeping track of all the great books I was reading and I started giving them a small review and then at the end of the year I would send out the list to all my friends. Over the years I have gotten great feedback about my list and nothing makes me happier then when someone chooses to read a book I have recommended and has enjoyed it, or has passed the list on to their friends or even their own book clubs. So now you won’t have to wait all year to see what I have been reading. My friends also know that I am ALWAYS looking for good books and asking them what they are currently reading. I hope this site will help my reading friends find some good books to read but to also share what they have enjoyed with me.
