A thousand splendid suns - Khaled Hosseini

To all mothers and daughters who strive in their own Kabuls..[ "like rocks in a riverbed , enduring without complaint , their grace not sullied but shaped by the turbulence that wash over them.."]

To all Nanas' and Mariam jos' who endure Jalils' and Rasheeds'..

And to all Lailas' and Azizas' who cherish Tariqs' presence in their lives..


"One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs,
Or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls."

                            -Translated lines from a poem of one Persian poet Saeb-e-tabrizi from where the title of the novel is taken
