Afghanistan - Mariam - Laila - Sacrifices - War - Love
@khosseini 's fiction A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS is a rollercoaster ride through injustice, acrimony, devotion, leniency, and repudiation.
A THOUSAND SPENDING SUNS is not about only Mariam and Laila's sacrifices.. It's also about Rasheed's ruthlessness - society's unfamiliar posture over the suffocating attitude of child marriage - how Jalil's parental attitude toward Mariam ends her spirit and convictions, provokes an imminent mutiny at the last phase of her life. How the wars in Afghanistan create violence, jeopardize the existence of commoners, and corner the whole women community from the civilization makes an awful and reprimand verdict through some layers.
Mariam who is labeled as 'harami', discards that mark with her own hands. She is the life-giver to Laila as well as her daughter Aziza, son Zalmai.
Laila, the lover of Tariq, never left loving him - but never loved her husband Rasheed. She discovers herself at ease with Mariam, shares her emotions, and remains unhinged after Mariam's death. Aziza, realizing the truth about her father, accepts the reality - Rasheed's animality impels it easy to approve all the conditions.
