Hailed as a literary triumph by the Financial Times and a suspenseful epic by the Daily Telegraph, this Richard & Judy number one bestseller weaves a tale of heartbreak and resilience. Khaled Hosseini's 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' chronicles the lives of two Afghan women, spanning nearly two decades of tumultuous history.

Our story begins with Mariam, a mere fifteen-year-old, thrust into an arranged marriage in Kabul. Years later, an unlikely friendship blossoms between Mariam and Laila, a local teenager, their bond rivalling that of mother and daughter. As the Taliban seize control, their existence becomes a harrowing struggle against hunger, cruelty, and paralyzing fear.

Yet, in this bleak landscape, Hosseini illuminates the transformative power of love. With meticulous attention to detail and unwavering empathy, he shows how affection can drive individuals to astonishing acts of heroism, conquering seemingly insurmountable obstacles. This deeply moving narrative, as noted by the Sunday Times, is a testament to the indomitable human spirit.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
