A Thousand Splendid Suns
Laila
Laila is the daughter of Mammy and Babi. She is also friends with Giti, Hasina and Tariq. Mariam is Laila's neighbor in this story. Leila is a Muslim, but doen't wear a hijab
Main character in the second part of the book. She is mentioned in most of the practically all the chapters of part II
Laila is a brave young lady that likes learning new things every day, she is always ready for a new adventure and want to learn more everyday. She along with her bestfriend Tariq, have gone on many adventures together.
Laila believes that women and men are equal and they have the equal right to go to school and both impact the society. Her belief is based on everything her dad talks to her about and he puts in her this idea which i think is really true
Laila did not want to drop out school to get married to a man she said along with Tariq that "weddings were stupid". And they both agreed that they would never get married
Babi
He surely is an old man but he be doing sacrifices for he's daughter's knowledge, her schooling and more. He unlike his wife cares about his daughter as a real loving parent would do
Babi is Laila's father, and mamy's husband. He who teaches her most of what she knows. Babi does not want to give leila for marriage, he wants her to finish school and to go to college later on.
Tariq
Tariq in this story is Laila's best friend. He three years older than her but they stayed real close friends. Tariq lost his leg in Afghanistan by stepping on a mine and he was amputated. Tariq has been the boy that protected Laila against bullying from street kids
Tariq is a muslim too. But like Laila, they both do not like marriage and would not luke to get married as it is a "waste of alot of money for no reason"
Ahmad
Ahmad
Ahmad I believe was muslim too and was of what I could understand Mammy's favorite child along with his brother
Ahmad is/was Laila's late brother who died at war under commander Ahmad Shah Massoud. Ahmad was not shown in the story that much, he was mentioned a couple times by mammy and babi but not seen in the story
Noor
Noor is/was Laila's late brother who died at war under commander Ahmad Shah Massoud. Noor, just like Ahmad were not shown in the story that much, they were mentioned a couple times by mammy and babi but not seen in the story
Just like Ahmad, they seem to be Mammy's favorite children, as she is the one that mentions them most of the time.
Mammy
Mammy, wife of babi and mother of 3 kids. She is Laila's mother and late Ahmad and Noor too. I believe she is a Muslim and has for the conviction that her daughter should quit school and get married
Mariam
Lost her moth, Nana, at a young age. Was forced to marry a man that she didn't like. She is married to Rasheed a old looking man. She is the daughter of Jalil a famous indian entrepreneur. She is a muslim and lives with her husband
She suffered a lot in the house of her husband as she had a lost seven times her baby in the stomach and it caused anger in rasheed. She would serve food for him and go up to her room directly to avoid being stroked again
Rasheed
Rasheed is mariam husband. He is a middle class tailleur that lives in Kabul. Lost his wife and 5yo son. He is very hard acting on Mariam
This is so because she had already lost 7 pregnancies and it built anger in him. Probably because the pain of burring one kid is a lot but burring 7 more is hard to take.
