A thousand shining suns

Maryam had not exceeded fifteen years when she was sent to Kabul to marry Rashid. After about two decades, a friendship grows between Maryam and a girl from Kabul, a strong friendship like the bond between mother and daughter. And when the students seize power, life turns into a desperate struggle against famine, brutality, and fear. But love may drive people to act in unexpected ways, leading them to overcome the most terrifying obstacles with remarkable heroism.
