I recall that Kite Runner had some scenes of graphic violence that were very disturbing and heartbreaking, and I think Thousand Splendid Suns was not as bad. As I remember it, the trauma depicted just how real and awful human suffering was in that context, and more than anything else, it should generate understanding and compassion for those who suffered so horribly (and those who face similar experiences today).Al Hsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04407264726681695790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24215087.post-70792025092095588542015-09-11T23:10:24.955-05:002015-09-11T23:10:24.955-05:00Al, did you see anything that Christians would fin...Al, did you see anything that Christians would find offensive in this novel?

I'm desperate for some good convincing religious characters.Mark Goodyearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515891157372544251noreply@blogger.com
