{"product_id":"a-thousand-splendid-suns-2","title":"A Thousand Splendid Suns","description":"\u003cp\u003eText in Arabic. Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to Kabul to marry Rasheed. Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a local teenager, Laila, as strong as the ties between mother and daughter. When the Taliban take over, life becomes a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear. Yet love can move a person to act in unexpected ways, and lead them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with a startling heroism. The sense of longing evoked in Khaled Hosseinis novel is compelling and universal: the passionate search for love, family, home, acceptance, a healthy society, and a promising future, regardless of the obstacles. This novel transcends boundaries and illuminates the people and culture of a region that has been reluctantly thrust into the international spotlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 544 pages | Published March 2013\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GARDNERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63977730474333,"sku":"9789992194065","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9789992194065.jpg?v=1774446129","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/a-thousand-splendid-suns-2","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
