What Questions Are On The Cogat?

° A Thousand Splendid suns °



" You can not count the moons that shine on

roofs,
Neither the thousand splendid suns that hide behind
its walls"

.: Fifteen years, Mariam has never been in Herat. Since its Kolba wood up the hill, keep the minarets in the distance and looks forward to the arrival on Thursday, the day her father comes to visit and speak of poets and beautiful gardens of rockets landing on the moon and movies that cast in his films. Mariam would have wings in order to achieve Home of Herat, where his father will not ever because she is a haram, a bastard, and it would be a humiliation for his three wives and ten children legitimate hosted under the same roof. He would also like to go to school, but it would be useless, says her mother, how to polish a spittoon. The only thing you must learn is patience. Laila was born in Kabul on the night of the revolution, in April 1978. He was only two years old when his brothers were enrolled in the jihad. For this, the day of the funeral, find it hard to cry. For Laila, Tariq's brother is the true, the child of his neighbors, who lost a leg to a landmine but can defend it from the teasing of his peers, the playmate who teaches the words in Pashto and every evening to say good night with the light signals from the window. Mariam and Laila could not be more different, but the war will bring together in unpredictable ways. The interweaving of two destinies, an unforgettable story that tells the story of a country in search of peace, friendship and love seem to be the only salvation.

.: Wonderful book, there is more to say. There is no truth except what you create fighting and believing.
I wanted to leave two rows in this regard because at last I managed to finish it - six months after -, I had to read my not being to 'rate' and whenever I had to stop raving impatiently, waiting for the moment where I could continue, as it is a book that knows take the reader - literally catapulted into a reality-and-history- raw, so real that it seems true - and in many ways it really is- in a world devastated by war and bent from the madness , beautiful and fragile as a piece of glass. Sharp. Emerging
then becomes very difficult, as it is difficult to criticize this altrettando; uno dei migliori libri di letteratura contemporanea, sicuramente.
