Kaled Hosseini
Plot: to fifteen years, Mariam has never been in Herat. Since its Kolba wood up the hill, keep the minarets in the distance and looks forward to the arrival on Thursday, the day her father comes to visit and speak of poets and beautiful gardens of rockets landing on moon and the movie is cast in his films. Mariam would have wings to reach the house of his father, where he will not ever because harami Mariam is a bastard, and it would be a humiliation for his three wives and ten children legitimate hosted under the same roof. He would also like to go to school, but it would be useless, says her mother, how to polish a spittoon. The only thing that has to learn is endurance.
Laila was born in Kabul on the night of the revolution, in April 1978. He was only two years old when his brothers were enrolled in jihad. For this, the day of their funeral, find it hard to cry. For Laila, Tariq's brother is the true, the child of his neighbors, who lost a leg to a landmine but can defend it from the teasing of his peers, the playmate who teaches the words in Pashto and gives her good night every night with light signals from the window.
Mariam and Laila could not be more different, but the war will bring together in unpredictable ways. Interweaving destinies of two, a story that tells the unforgettable story of a country in search of peace, friendship and love seem to be the only salvation.
My opinion: there are books that should be read because when you turn the last page you'll know that you have left something inside. Are those books that you will always remember with a smile and despite the passing years will always occupy a place within you.
Mille spendidi alone "is a book that tells a true reality that perhaps may seem absurd in most cases. Those that are shown are a culture and a different world than we know and why the desire to learn more is very strong. If then gets through a story like this, come off the pages becomes very difficult.
Mariam and Laila could not be more different than they are and have even remotely imagined that each one could create a stronger bond than between a mother and a daughter. And 'this link that give you the strength to move forward both in a country where people are dying in the street on her way to buy milk, the hiss of the rockets break the silence of the night and the families mourning loved ones now lost.
words to describe this novel does not make justice because to be read and savored each page goes.
