The resilience of women
May 24th 2007
From The Economist print edition
FANS of “The Kite Runner”, Khaled Hosseini's much admired first novel which has sold more than 8m copies worldwide, will not be disappointed by his second. This is another sweeping Afghan saga that once again reveals the author's talent for storytelling and his love for his homeland.
“A Thousand Splendid Suns”, which takes its title from a poem about Kabul by Saib-e-Tabrizi, a 17th-century Persian poet, is a multi-generational story that unfolds over 45 years. It offers a larger cast of characters and a more detailed chronicling of Afghanistan's recent political history than “The Kite Runner”, but returns to the same theme: the strength of the human spirit in lives overwhelmed by cruelty.
Unlike his debut novel, a story of friendship and loyalty told from a male perspective, Mr Hosseini's new book revolves around the lives of two women. Mariam, born out of marriage to a wealthy father who rejects her, is married at 15 to a shoemaker, Rasheed, who grows increasingly brutal towards her when she fails to give him an heir.
Eighteen years later, Rasheed takes a second wife, Laila, the 14-year-old daughter of educated parents killed in a rocket attack. Over the years, and against a backdrop of civil war and the rise of the Taliban, a bond develops between Mariam and Laila as they become allies in a personal war against their husband, a man they despise for his violence but upon whom they depend for survival.
The book works well on several levels. At its heart are its engaging characters, drawn with a sensitive hand; even minor players have a rounded appeal. The plot encompasses suicide, rejection, murder, execution, love, sacrifice, exile and return. People and plot are grounded in the history of a country in deep turmoil for nearly half a century.
It is Mr Hosseini's insight into the lives of ordinary Afghan women that gives this story its strength. He describes the cruel patriarchy: the forced marriages; the restrictions on women's freedom of movement; the banning of women from education and work; the closure of women's hospitals; the day-to-day harassment, humiliation and beatings. His portrait of their remarkable resilience in the face of oppression is likely to make his book another well-deserved bestseller.
A Thousand Splendid Suns.
By Khaled Hosseini.
