I agree with you on that. I am currently reading the book and I've to say that It is a masterpiece. Books like this are quite rare today and I've no doubt that it will be a classic in the future.sarah[1904] wrote: ↑10 May 2018, 16:09 I often wonder if authors of the books we consider classics ever would have thought their words would live for so many years and have millions of eyes grace their pages. I believe A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini will become a classic. The subject matter of the novel, and the characters it centers on, are so important to today's times that the events will be talked about for years.

In contrast, popular books like The hunger Games and Divergent and all these other really popular series are really different in this way. They're a reflection of current times, which is really cool. But I think that's why they're so liked. They aren't written particularly well, they don't have an amazing or unique structure, and they don't really deal with timeless issues the way Harry Potter does.

- Latest Review: Rediscovering the Wisdom of Human Nature by Chet Shupe
Not only is it beautifully written but it's a compelling story about grief and finding ways of expressing that feeling through art and sometimes less admiral means. It feels like a very timeless story when you're reading it yet it does describe a bunch of different places in the modern world as the main character travels and learns.
There are a lot of different kinds of relationships too which explore dynamics really well.
