A Thousand Splendid Suns: An Illustration

by Manashree Parekh

 

A woman who will be like a rock in a riverbed, enduring without complaint, her grace not sullied but shaped by the turbulence that washes over her.”

 – Khaled Hosseini, ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’, 2007.

It is a powerful story signifying the beauty and culture of Afghanistan as well as the hardships that taint it.
