I hate the fact that I am this type of person who cannot take herself out from a story's character for the longest time. I started reading it a long time ago, but I am glad I just finished reading it at the right time. This writing is just out of the box. It shows struggle of women for survival, for fighting against all the odds and making there way out. I don't know for how long the sorrows of maryam are gonna stay with me, but the one thing I am sure of is, I will take pieces of "A thousand splendid suns" wherever I go.
