A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini was first published in 2007.
The story tugs on your heart and your eyes will brim with tears. It is unbelievable what women have to endure under senseless rules. There are always people ready, no matter what country, to create chaos and terror in what ever name.
Page 365 The lines are from Hafez's ghazals
Hovels shall turn to rose gardens, grieve not,
If a flood should arrive, to drown all that's alive, grieve not,
A Thousand Splendid Suns is an unforgettable portrait of a wounded country and a deeply moving story of family and friendship. It is a beautiful, heart wrenching story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely bond and an indestructible love.

Sounds like a wonderful book. I enjoyed your post and your photos are wonderful, the first one just beautiful.
Denise, thank you. It is a pretty good read, very sad.
Never apologize for chatting when you visit me. I love it. I have a bench in my garden that says, 'Sit long, Talk much'
Thank you Darla.
