Read moreAfter a long, hectic day, as I sat with a cup of hot tea, I saw this book peeping out through a pile of my newly bought novels. Considering the reviews of all leading newspapers and its growing popularity among all book clubs, I decided to delve into it. Little did I know that I would end up reading the entire novel in 5 hours! “A Thousand splendid suns” is a marvel. Khaled Hosseini has left no stones unturned in depicting the plight of women in Afghanistan with such beauty. It was not difficult to make out that how the book became a huge bestseller and went in for a reprint soon after its release. Having it split into parts, the first half of the story starts off with the tale of a teenager named Mariam and her life. She is Jalil’s daughter, a wealthy man who owns a huge business and lives with his wives and children in Herat. Mariam’s mother “Nana” (as she called her) used to work as a servant in Jalil’s house. And, just so because Mariam is Jalil’s illegitimate daughter she is not supposed to live with him in his house, so she lives with her mother in the outskirts. She thinks very high of Jalil because he gets her gifts and cares a lot about her. When she goes to meet him at his place for the first time, she ends up sleeping in the porch outside the house. Heartbroken and shocked, when she gets back to her home, she finds that her mother has committed suicide. Mariam lives in Jalil’s house till he finds a “suitable match” for her without letting her know, a person who is thirty years elder to her, Rasheed. He lives in Kabul and is a shoemaker and after their marriage, gradually, Rasheed becomes abusive. The book is not as autobiographical as and when compared to his first one, “The Kite Runner”, but the characters shown in the book clearly portray the sufferings and difficulties by giving it a very
