Reading her series of tribulations, made me feel helpless in my consistent urge to somehow help her. We are introduced first to Mariam whose childhood is lost in misfortunes in her broken family. We watch both of our protagonists grow up right in front of our eyes, we see their struggle, agony and only keep wishing that it will be better for them someday. Hosseini creates a universe in the novel which fits our Mariam and Laila amidst the political unrest in Afghanistan. The novel keeps shifting brilliantly between the narratives of two women, with whom we spend an entire lifetime. Khaled Hosseini’s ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’, first published in 2007 is one of those novels which will have you live almost a lifetime with them, only in this case, you live two at once.
