Love may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you consider the war-ravaged landscape of Afghanistan. But that is the emotion – subterranean, powerful, beautiful, illicit, and infinitely patient – that suffuses the pages of Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns.

Nine people gather at a remote health resort. Some are here to lose weight, some are here to get a reboot on life, some are here for reasons they can’t even admit to themselves. Amidst all of the luxury and pampering, the mindfulness and meditation, they know these ten days might involved some real work. But none of them could imagine just how challenging the next ten days are going to be.
