Both women endure hardships and tragedies but find solace in their friendship from "summary" of A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
In the midst of war-torn Afghanistan, Mariam and Laila's lives intersect in unexpected ways. Mariam, a young girl born out of wedlock, faces rejection and abuse from her own father. Her mother's suicide leaves her feeling utterly alone in the world. Laila, on the other hand, grows up in a loving family until tragedy strikes and she is left orphaned.
As Mariam is married off to a much older man, Rasheed, she finds herself trapped in a loveless and abusive marriage. Laila, too, is forced into marriage with Rasheed after losing everything she holds dear. Both women endure unspeakable hardships at the hands of their husband, suffering physical and emotional abuse on a daily basis.
Despite their different backgrounds and circumstances, Mariam and Laila form a bond that transcends their shared pain and suffering. Through their friendship, they find solace and strength in each other's company. They offer each other support and comfort in the darkest of times, creating a sense of sisterhood that sustains them through the most difficult moments of their lives.
