As they endure the ever escalating dangers around them-in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul-they come to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own lives but of the next generation. With heart-wrenching power and suspense, Hosseini shows how a woman's love for her family can move her to shocking and heroic acts of self-sacrifice, and that in the end it is love, or even the memory of love, that is often the key to survival. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA stunning accomplishment, \u003ci\u003eA Thousand Splendid Suns\u003c\/i\u003e is a haunting, heartbreaking, compelling story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Khaled Hosseini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Riverhead Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.28h x 6.40w x 1.25d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594489501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Tayshas Reading - Commended\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Book Sense Book of the Year Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgia Peach Book Award for Teen Readers - Nominee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Eliot Rosewater Indiana High School Book Award - Nominee","brand":"Riverhead Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42707231375497,"sku":"9781594489501","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_d0f6c4ec-e211-41c3-bd25-3b23601c4a2b.jpg?v=1719479064","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/a-thousand-splendid-suns-9781594489501","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
