Wow, Ela, thank you for sharing your perspective. I did wonder how much water it truly held - the strife that Mariam endured, and how accurate that may be the culture she represents. It breaks my heart to even think this is possible, but I understand that it does. I think it's ironic and sad that Islam was the religion that once empowered women, yet in some cultures it has been perverted to subdue and quiet women, even abuse them or deprive them. Mariam by far was the hero to me in this story because she truly endured, and that kind of endurance ended up being worse than being shunned from society the way her mother was. Mariam proved to be stronger than her mother.
