A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini is our book choice this month. The setting is Afghanistan, first in the town of Herat and then Kabul. It's a love story but it's also about the harsh family life that Afghan women endure. I read it such a long time ago that I decided to read this summary to refresh my memory before our meeting next Friday. This link gives the background of the writer, who was the son of a diplomat, and also has a discussion guide.
Take a look at the very exciting movie trailer. Hosseini is also well-known for his first book, The Kite Runner. Here is that movie trailer.
Our pizzeria location closed so we are headed for Michael's Deli.

I just ordered this book from my book club. I will let you know how I like it.
I tried to get the first book in the Three Pines Mystery series. It was not listed so it has been placed on my wish list.
I hope you and the staff have a great Christmas vacation.
