I got a book from my sister when i visited Romania for to weeks to go to a wedding, my boyfriends brother got married and now everyone waits for our wedding, lol, which is weird cause we are younger and need more time. Anyway, i read this book and it is awesome. A thousand splendid suns by Khales Hosseini. http://librarie.carturesti.ro/a-thousand-splendid-suns-353282

I haven’t read a book in a while that i liked so much. If you read the summary you know it is about the friendship of to women that are confronted with lost love and decades of excruciating war. What is interesting about this book is that the story is happening during my life time. The war in Afghanistan was just a tale for me, even though i saw in the news growing up news and horrible facts. I liked reading it because it is a very real book . Even though it is just a written story i think there is a lot of truth in it and it makes you appreciate your war-less life. I never experienced first hand the atrocities of a conflict in mt country, i was 2 when the Romanian revolution killed the communist president and risked life’s to get rid of the Communism. I hope i will never be part of a war but i would like to know how i would react to a battle for my existence. Would i be a coward and hide somewhere and survive or die because of fear or fight for my beliefs, We all see ourselves as brave but when the time really comes will we be able to be proud of ourselves. I recommend this book with all my heart because it is very well written and inspirational. I really like how the author presented the characters and how he brought them together. I read the book in like 3 days max it was that good. I missed such a book that can get my attention.
