"Love" is a great feeling. Deeply hidden, forbidden, secret, she will wait in the wings anyway. This is the new novel by Khaled Hosseini, which in 2007 became the main world bestseller. This book is also about friendship between people who, it would seem, can only be enemies, about hidden contradictions between parents and children, about the stamina of meek hearts. In the center of the novel are two women who were victims of upheavals that destroyed peaceful Afghanistan. Mariam is the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy businessman, who from childhood knew what misfortune is, from an early age she felt her own doom. Leila, on the contrary, is a beloved daughter in a friendly family, dreaming of an interesting and wonderful life. There is nothing in common between them, they live in different worlds, which would not be destined to intersect, if not for the fiery flurry of war. From now on, Leila and Mariam are bound by the closest ties, and they themselves do not know who they are - enemies, friends or sisters. But alone they cannot survive in a mad world, they cannot stand before the medieval despotism and cruelty that flooded the streets and houses of the once cozy city. Together they will go through suffering, together I will catch unexpected grains of joy, together they will dream of happiness, to which they will one day try to break through. "A Thousand Splendid Suns" is a powerful, dramatic and lyrical story that makes hearts clench with pain and joy. This is a noble and generous book. Khaled Hosseini's new novel won the 2007 Reader's Choice Award in the US and UK. In 2007, the book was a #1 bestseller by The New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, Denver Post, Rocky Mountain News, Publishers Weekly. In a year, almost 2 million copies of the novel were sold in the USA alone. At the time of the release of the Russian edition, the book was published in 46 languages.
