A thousand splendid suns is such an inspiring and eye opening book. It is a book that inspires women to rise up. It takes you along a heartbreaking but beautiful journey through living in a time of war. This book really resonated with me because I myself am a privileged young women. I can’t imagine living in the circumstances both Laila and Mariam did. I 100% recommend this book to absolutely everyone. It changes your perspective on the Middle East and the circumstances women have to live in.
