Outrightly Stunning !!
I just tried to re - read this book, it feels so different amidst the Afghanistan crisis!
A blend of classic, drama, historical fiction, thrill, empathy, with conspicuous themes of guilt and redemption : this book is Khalid Hosseini's tour de force ( the so called masterpiece). The finest fiction book that I've read as of date because one would rarely find a work of fiction that seems so realistic right from its inception to its culmination. The book depicts the fact that time is a greedy thing and can steal all the details for itself; and yet, when the truth is revealed, it can change the course of a whole lifetime. Awe-inspiring is the appropriate word for this book.
I have a penchant for a line from this book: History isn't easy to overcome. Neither is religion.

I agree it was a masterpiece of terrific storytelling. I am looking forward to one day getting around to reading "A Thousand Splendid Suns".
