I would like to introduce a novel named a thousand splendid suns, written by Khalid Hoeini，Who born down in California with his family.my best friend gave this book to me as my 17th birthday’s present.I finished this wonderful, moving story of how two modern Afghan women in a few days and I am shocked by this novel.Hoeini has succeeded in capturing many important historical and contemporary themes in a way that will make your heart ache again and again.his first novel is the kite runner.A thousand splendid suns is his second novel, Once again set in Afghanistan, the story focuses mainly on the lives of two women, Mariam and Laila ,thrown together by fate.Mariam is the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy man and one of his housekeepers, sufferring shame throughout her childhood because of the circumstances of her birth When she was 15,her mother killed herself and she was forced to marry toa much older man, a shoemaker, whose views on the rights of women mirror those that the Taliban would soon enforce.Laila, whose life is destroyed by wars, lost her parents because of the war.As a result she had to marry toMariam’s husband for her baby that had not come to the world yet.Laila is beautiful while Miriam is plainer.Laila is loved by both her parents with whom she lives and has many chances to develop her knowledge and skills.They also grow up in different times: Miriam is old enough to be Laila's mother.They are so different but fate bring them together from 1960s to 2003.The book deals with iues of cla, religion, sexual roles, child rearing, education, and community.For Afghanistan was a world where the men called the shots, unle they chose not to do so.Men

are allowed to marry as many wives as they like.Women has to follow whatever orders that their husband give.They can not go out without their husband’s permiion :they can not de watched by other men when they go out.Even they are treated badly by their husband, they has no right to sue for divorce.Compared with them, We ARE so lucky, to be born in china, I think it is so easy for us to forget that there are millions of people who live under oppreion of one kind or another, or without any hope/opportunity to improve their lot.I do know that this story will impact my life from now on.I will educate myself on world affairs and what lies under the surface from now on-not just read about it in the newspapers.At the end ot the story, mariam sacrificed herself for laila.The novel’s title comes from a poem, “One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs, / Or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls.” Though Mariam died, it shows hope to us, just like what the poem expre.
