It also talks about how it has affected the lives of the people in Afghanistan, how the women were treated, how oppressive the rules were towards women and many more sensitive issues. This book throws light on Afghanistan war and Taliban rule. In that unkindly situation a friendship blooms between them. Both their contrasting lives are forced to intervene together due to the impact of the war. So basically Laila is somebody who is modern in both thoughts as well as her activities. She is confident and shrewd, she goes to school and believes in education. Then nearly after 20 years she comes across a neighborhood teenager Laila. She doesn’t have a lot of exposure in life so at the very tender age of 15 itself she is forced to marry an elderly man and sent to Kabul along with him. The story begins with Mariam, a very innocent and calm girl. It is a tale of two generations of characters brought jarringly together by the tragic sweep of war, where personal lives-the struggle to survive, raise a family, find happiness-are inextricable from the history playing out around them.Ī Thousand Splendid Suns is a story about two girls Mariam and Laila who lives in Afghanistan during the period of war and Taliban rule. A Thousand Splendid Suns is a breathtaking story set against the volatile events of Afghanistan’s last thirty years-from the Soviet invasion to the reign of the Taliban to post-Taliban rebuilding-that puts the violence, fear, hope, and faith of this country in intimate, human terms.
