Yes, there are connections: it takes place in Kabul. This time it's more centered on women's lives.

My preference goes for the Kite Runner.

The Kite Runner? Similar?

Unread post

Yes there's similar parts throught the both stories. It mainly takes place in Kabul, as The Kite Runner it showed how a man suffers in afghanistan, in A Thousand Splendid Suns it shows how a women suffers and goes through hardships. I like The Kite Ruuner more mainly because it shows how a man goes through in the story, even though a women suffers much more in the middle east. Overall it's a great story, it has conflicts and it has a overwheelming ending. You should give it a try. :smile:
