	Wine, Women & Words Bookgroup   Contact Donna Howe to join.  New members are always welcome.
This group  is largely women who love to read a variety of books. We get together monthly to discuss the book selected by a group member but communicate by email between times. We try to explore our books, look at websites, attend a movie, opera, or live preview, share a glass of wine and munch on the exotic or mundane. Questions for discussion are from reading guides.
If you haven’t been to a book group lately...you can see we have chosen some very wonderful books.  Please come and join us again!!    As always, our meetings are the third Monday of the month at the library.   Thanks, Lara Bennett

 A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS
by Khaled Hosseini
 

May – A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS, by Khaled Hosseini  
After 103 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and with four million copies of The Kite Runner shipped, Khaled Hosseini returns with a beautiful, riveting, and haunting novel that confirms his place as one of the most important literary writers today.

Propelled by the same superb instinct for storytelling that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once an incredible chronicle of thirty years of Afghan history and a deeply moving story of family, friendship, faith, and the salvation to be found in love.

Born a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family, Mariam and Laila are two women brought jarringly together by war, by loss and by fate. As they endure the ever escalating dangers around them --- in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul --- they come to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own lives but of the next generation. With heart-wrenching power and suspense, Hosseini shows how a woman's love for her family can move her to shocking and heroic acts of self-sacrifice, and that in the end it is love, or even the memory of love, that is often the key to survival.

A stunning accomplishment, A Thousand Splendid Suns is a haunting, heartbreaking, compelling story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love.
