Consider A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. Recommended by 9 sources.

“Begins by following two Afghan women whose lives intersect across decades of war, marriage, and shifting social order. The prose stays close to daily routines and private exchanges, so the strongest effect is an immersive, character-led account of endurance and an often-surprising friendship. Useful part: it makes long-term emotional consequences feel immediate. Limitation: stretches of relentless hardship pile up and some plot beats simplify moral ambiguity toward tidy resolutions. Best read when you want concentrated emotional fiction rather than light entertainment.”
