 Synopsis:
Mariam lives in the small village of Gul Daman with her mother. She is
the illegitimate daughter of Jalil, a wealthy businessman who lives in the
nearby city of Herat. After her mother's suicide, she is sent to live with
Jalil. Jalil and his wives quickly marry Mariam off to a shoemaker
named Rasheed, and the newlyweds move to Kabul, where Mariam
becomes pregnant. Sadly, Mariam miscarries. Rasheed is furious and
becomes abusive.

Across Kabul (and in a galaxy far, far away…) a girl named Laila is
born on the same night that the Soviets take control of Afghanistan. Her
best friend (and love interest) is Tariq, a neighborhood boy who lost a
leg when he was a child. With the war worsening, Tariq's family decides
to leave for Pakistan, and he and Laila consummate their relationship the
night before he leaves. Laila's family decides to leave soon after, but her
parents are killed by a stray rocket as they're packing up the car.

Rasheed and Mariam care for Laila as she recovers. A man comes by
and tells Laila that he saw Tariq die in a hospital. Rasheed, being the dirt
 ball that he is, uses this as an opportunity to ask Laila to marry him.
Surprisingly, she says yes. It turns out that she's pregnant with Tariq's
child. Her plan is to convince Rasheed that the child is his, and then
escape to Pakistan after she's saved enough money.

Mariam resents Laila at first, but she eventually becomes close to Laila
and her new daughter, Aziza. Laila tells Mariam about her plan to
escape, and Mariam decides to join them. They eventually go through
with the plan, but they're arrested before they can leave and are sent
home with Rasheed. He is so furious that he almost kills them.

Laila and Rasheed have a son named Zalmai. After Rasheed's shop
burns to the ground and the family goes broke, he forces Laila to send
Aziza to a nearby orphanage. One day, after visiting Aziza, Laila returns
home to find a very surprising guest: it's Tariq. It turns out the man who
had come by all those years ago was hired by Rasheed to trick Laila.
Laila tells Tariq about Aziza, and he promises that he will meet her the
following day.

Rasheed starts to beat Laila that night when he finds out about Tariq.
Mariam ends up killing Rasheed to protect Laila. Mariam remains in
Kabul to take the blame and is executed by the Taliban. Laila, Tariq, and
the kids move to Tariq's home in Murree, where life is comfortable.
After the U.S. invasion, however, Laila decides to return to Kabul.

Before returning home, Laila stops in Herat, Mariam's hometown. She

visits Mariam's childhood home, and receives a box for the local
Mullah's son that was meant for Mariam. It's from her father Jalil. It
contains a long letter, as well as her share of his inheritance. Laila uses
the money to renovate the orphanage in Kabul, and we learn at the close
of the book that she is pregnant with a new child.

 Quote:
The idea of the story is the same with the first novel “kite runner”.
Telling us more avocative about girl situation in afganishtan in 1960. So
we now well how was it. The writer tells us also the poignant from the
two main caracters in the novel. He makes us can emagine the story in
real trems.
This novel can not be guessed because the plot is really great. It’s also
kind a masterpiece from Khaled Hosseini.
What i do appreciate from the novel is the story that really show us the
sting from the caracters. I recommed this novel to every single women
in this world because it can improve the awakeness of girl role and
struggle in this world.
