One of the biggest issues in the story is the issue of gender in the Afghani culture. Mariam and Laila, the main female characters of the book, face constant hardships because of their gender. The book shows the oppression of these women as they struggle for survival in this harsh culture. They face constant physical abuse by their shared husband, Rasheed, as well as constant threats from the Taliban outside their door.Italiahttp://talkingpoint2track.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715098673309673728.post-51440054040577096092011-03-28T03:44:25.904-07:002011-03-28T03:44:25.904-07:00Thanks so much Ria...I was crying and crying while...Thanks so much Ria...I was crying and crying while reading this too!Sakhi Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16140147799115440477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715098673309673728.post-81279821328267736792011-03-28T02:38:44.783-07:002011-03-28T02:38:44.783-07:00loved the review. it is vey well composed. i remem...loved the review. it is vey well composed. i remember i read this one in the first year of my hostel life.i used to weep bitterly while reading and the gals around used to make fun of me, the ones who lack the pleasure of reading.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715098673309673728.post-24694017844163021952010-12-11T02:30:13.320-08:002010-12-11T02:30:13.320-08:00Hi Aakanksha,
