June Question - "A Thousand Splendid Suns"
The phrase “a
thousand splendid suns", from the poem by Saib-e-Tabrizi, is quoted twice in
the novel - once as Laila's family prepares to leave
Kabul, and again when she decides to return there from Pakistan. It is also echoed in
one of the final lines: “Miriam is in Laila's own heart, where she shines
with the bursting radiance of a thousand suns." What is the thematic
significance of this phrase?
