A Thousand Splendid Suns

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

Wow talk about an amazing book, I could not put it down it is so informative. It taught me so much about how women in other parts of the World live, so this book is about a girl named Mariam, who lives in Afghanistan and she is a "love child" this story follows her for about 30 years. She is the daughter of a wealthy man named Jalil and His old housekeeper Nana. Jalil already has 3 wives so Nana and Mariam are forced to go live in this little run down shack on the outskirts of the town that he lives in, He comes and visits Mariam every thursday and one thursday Mariam asks if she can go to the Cinema, so the next day before she leaves Nana Says "If you go I will die" and Mariam just thought that she was being Dramatic, so she goes and Jalil does not even see her and she stays outside of his fence the whole night the next day she is forced to go home and when she gets there she finds out that Nana has hanged Herself. So then Mariam is forced to marry Rasheed a couple weeks later and Rasheed is like 40 years old, Mariam was only like 15 at the time. Well, your going to have to read the rest because this book is just amazing!!!
