To talk about the book, I'm not a book lover or a frequent reader. However, I read this book during my class 10. The title was A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. I decided to read this book because I wanted to improve my vocabulary at that time, and I wanted to show my friend that I could read a bulky book. The perspective I had before reading this book was that I thought it covered themes of love and sacrifice when parents do not approve of the relationship between two individuals. However, after reading this book, my perspective changed significantly. This book is about women, how they are treated in Islamic culture, and how these particular women overcome their fears and achieve victory. It has shown me the importance of sympathy for the women in Islam who are still treated poorly to this day. I feel very sad about it because women are still treated very lowly in their culture, and that is very troubling.
