In today's episode, we discuss the symbolism and key matters that are raised in Khaled Hosseini's number-one New York Times bestseller, A Thousand Splendid Suns. This 2007 novel highlights the resilience of two Afghan women, Laila and Miriam, as they struggle against gender discrimination, abuse, and predominantly - oppression. Told from both points of view, their stories meet as they discover strength within each other, and the power to test the society they live in in the war-torn neighborhoods of 1990s Kabul.
