Common reading at Belk

The author of this year’s Common Reading selection, Khaled Hosseini, will speak at Fall Convocation on Tuesday, October 13th at 4 p.m. in Alumni Gym.  A Thousand Splendid Suns traces many unstable events in Afghanistan (during the 1960s-2003) and specifically focuses on the tumultuous lives of two Afghan women and how they cross paths with one another. Be sure to check out the book display in Belk Library during the week of October 12th. The library has prepared a Research Guide to help you find additional sources about subject areas discussed in A Thousand Splendid Suns. Hosseini is also the author of The Kite Runner, a 2003 bestseller.
