Tell us about your favorite book: One of my favorite books is called “A Thousand Splendid Suns” by Khaled Hosseini. In this book it shows the strong bond between two Afghan women and how they try to adjust to their war situation and many other obstacles. I like this book because it shows both of the characters perspective and gives us a chance to understand what they go through in order to survive.
