If you are a woman, it is necessary for you to read A Thousand Splendid Suns. It helped me learn to appreciate the everyday things i take for granted. Some are my jobs, my education, and my protective rights.
This novel was written by Khaled Hosseini, who is also the author of The Kite Runner. A Thousand Splendid Suns, is an inspiration to mothers and daughters everywhere. Much of Afghanistan's dreadful history is described vividly. All the characters immediately come to life as soon as you open the book up.
There are many scenes where women are severely abused.The details are so intriguing that they make you cringe and water fills your eyes while reading.
It clearly points out many differences in what societies accept and don't accept. For example, in the story, women were not permitted to wear revealing clothes. Some were only allowed to show her eyes. In the US, more men accept to let their wives or daughters choose what to wear. Although some are strict, they are not crazy and would not shop a wrist off if it is shown.
In the novel, Women are discouraged to become educated and work. In the US, more women each day are self-motivated to become educated and work.
I am so grateful to live in a country where I have rights. I have to right to an education. I also have women's rights that prohibits men from hitting us legally.
