{"product_id":"a-thousand-splendid-suns-khaled-hosseini-9789992194065","title":"A Thousand Splendid Suns","description":"Text 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.","brand":"Hamad Bin Khalifa University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67916817269024,"sku":"9789992194065","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9789992194065_2412909.jpg?v=1792656791","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/a-thousand-splendid-suns-khaled-hosseini-9789992194065","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
