The shadow children series****

by Margaret Peterson Haddix

A series a 7 books. My kids have all read these books at one time or another. I am reading along with Emric. They are well written. A good fast read! I especially loved the 1st one and the last 2 books of this series...

A Thousand Splendid Suns*****

by Khaled Hosseini

Several times, I cried so hard I couldn't read from all the tears. This is a touching book, of two women whose lives converge, it's sad, but oh so beautifully told. The author's writing carries you away to this faraway place, making you be there, in the moment, with the people, in that climate, dealing with that oppression. (Some mature & difficult themes)

J'ai pleure si fort, que plusieurs fois je ne pouvais plus voire les mots. Une histoire tres touchante de deux femmes et de leurs vies qui converge. C'est triste mais si bien ecrit. L'auteur nous enmene dans un pays lointain. On y vit, on ressent le climat, les moments, les gens, on ressent l'oppression...
