About Today’s Final Jeopardy – Monday, 8 May 2023
“A Thousand Splendid Suns” is a 2007 novel by Afghan-American novelist Khaled Hosseini. The title of the work is derived from a phrase in the poem “Kabul” by the 17th-century Persian poet Saib Tabrizi, which was translated by Josephine Davis:
Every street of Kabul is enthralling to the eye
Through the bazaars, caravans of Egypt pass
One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs
And the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls
The story is set in Afghanistan and spans several decades, from the 1960s to the early 2000s, and depicts the connected stories of two Afghan women, Mariam and Laila, who originate from quite different backgrounds but are pulled together by fate. Mariam is the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy man and a servant, whereas Laila is the daughter of a teacher and his wife. Mariam and Laila’s lives become entwined when they are forced to marry the same abusive guy, Rasheed, who becomes a symbol of the oppression that women experience in Afghanistan.
