A Thousand Splendid SunsHas been mentioned on other threads, but I thought that it deserved one of its own. A fantastic book, very very moving.
I have never so much wanted a character in a book to die! (won't spoil it by telling you what happens) but a truly moving book,and you get to understand a bit more about Afghanistan along the way. Can't recommend it highly enough.

I agree hawk it is a wonderful book, I was very emotional after I had finished it. It wasn't until afterwards that I really looked at the cover and saw its significance.

Absolutely agree. Started it without very high expectations but was soon gripped. As you say, Hawk, great insight into Afghanistan.
