Summary: Forced to marry a man thirty years her senior, Mariam is unable to bear him a son. After eighteen years of submission to this brutal man, she must endure a new ordeal: the arrival of Laila, a fourteen-year-old neighbor, under her own roof. Pregnant, Laila gives birth to a daughter. Initially consumed by jealousy, Mariam eventually finds an ally in her rival. Both victims of their husband's violence and misogyny, they unite their courage to try to flee Afghanistan. But will they manage to escape this sacrificed Afghan land, and their city, Kabul, which once concealed "a thousand splendid suns" behind its walls?
