JudyB Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 If you enjoyed The Kite Runner you may enjoy Khaled Hosseini's second novel A Thousand Splendid Suns (it's good read). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 If you're up for something unusual, you might like to try Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See - excellent book and although it tackles some serious issues, isn't too heavy a read for a holiday (in fact, I read and enjoyed it on MY holiday recently!).

Oblomov Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I think the aforementioned Savages by Shirley Conran is a great holiday read. At nearly 700 pages it is thick enough to last your entire holiday and the gradually increasing tension means that you'll always have the book to fall back upon when you want just to put up your feet and relax. Since the story itself starts with the women going to a tropical island paradise on a holiday, it should be fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
