A Thousand Splendid Suns Book Club Discussion Questions 1 and 2

[Katybird]

I hope everyone is enjoying reading A Thousand Splendid Suns . I will jump in for Bibliomane until she returns and post the first 2 sets of questions for discussion.

1) What did A Thousand Splendid Suns teach you about the history of Afghanistan? Did anything surprise you?

2) Mariam’s mother says: "Women like us. We endure. It’s all we have." In what ways is this true? How do Mariam and Laila endure? How is their endurance different from the ways their mothers faced their trials?
