A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

Description

A Thousand Splendid Suns Novel by Khaled Hosseini

The beauty of Hosseini’s tale comes in his ability to draw the reader into the lives of these two women. Although introduced with a certain amount of predictable melodrama that sweeps us along with the implacable rhythm of a 1970s television mini-series, by the time Laila and Mariam physically unite in Rasheed’s household we are sold, living and breathing every trial and tribulation. Of these, there are plenty, Hosseini paints a cruel picture of Afghanistan’s intolerance towards women during not only the Taliban era but also within the confines of their supposed sanctuary of home. Intensely, we experience the beatings these women routinely receive and cower instinctively as the Taliban patrol wanders the streets of Kabul seeking out stray women to disfigure.

Shamelessly, Hosseini’s technique relies on the interjection of improbable occurrences that add to the tension on the reader’s heartstrings. This is nothing new in literature; Charles Dickens employs the same coincidental manipulations quite successfully in his classic serializations. However implausible, we are absorbed within the pages, reliving in nightmares some of the brutally repugnant scenes of blatant misogyny depicted so vividly in Hosseini’s detailed account. We cringe and cry and await retribution. Like “The Tale of Two Cities,” we are rewarded with a modern-day execution where innocent love and unselfish sacrifice allow another’s happiness and ultimately the irrepressible good to triumph over the miserably evil.
