Which book has Mizmaar singer Mashhad Sharyar read most recently?
A Thousand Splendid Suns (2007) by Khaled Hosseini
“It’s been a while since I read, but the last book I read was A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. I loved the way Khaled Hosseini writes about the culture of Afghanistan. It’s so beautiful and makes one want to visit the country. The portrayal of all the characters and the mistakes they make is very real. The ending in particular moved me. A must read!”
