 Pure Splendor, 2007-12-22

A far more accomplished offering that his debut novel, Hosseini presents a haunting tale of Afghanistan and this time without the one dimensional villains and the slightly implausible coincidences. The story tells of two women growing up in different generations who by various tricks of fate end up being married to the same man. In truth the story line is a fairly familiar mix of the oppressed Muslim women seeking emancipation from their brute of a husband but the way in which the tale is told is where the beauty lies. The prose is eloquent, the style haunting and the story containing an almost unspeakable sadness as we are entreated to be part of their lives during the periods of great change for Afghanistan as the characters strive towards attaining their happy ending. If you haven't read Kite Runner, do so. If you have, I'd recommend The Fates by Tino Georgiou.
