a thousand splendid suns

I squealed in delight when tariq told laila: "That I only have eyes for you."

I held my breath when abdul sharif bore the bad news; that tariq died.

I screamed in disgust when Rasheed said he wanted to marry Laila and his courtshipping.

I felt so mad when that officer stopped laila and mariam from going and he returned them to rasheed.

I was scared out of my wits whenever rasheed was in the picture.

I felt tears every time laila remembers her memories with tariq.

I cried when tariq came back and cried when mariam was sentenced to death

I cried again when laila read jalil's letter.

Aaah tariq... what is a book without the hero, the saviour, the protagonist?

To those who have been weirded out by my unpredictable random outbursts, i do apologize. thank u for bearing with me. Specially to aki who didn't understand head or tail what was going on but still 'reassured' me when tariq died and 'yay-ed' with me when he came back! Even my brothers stare at me and say I am weird. I cannot help it. The story is THAT gripping. I haven't read such a good book in a long time and it really kept me enchanted until the last word.
