zainab_booklover asked this question about A Thousand Splendid Suns:

Did reading A thousand Splendid Suns, being a book about traumatised characters and domestic abuse, help you with your own trauma? did it present you with insights on your personal wounds? and did it make you reflect on them? If the book influenced you in any way on a personal level, would you please share how? Every answer will be deeply appreciated

Sam I will only answer this shortly. Most of all, this book made me think about love, and of loss. Both the loss of people and the loss of opportunities. …moreI will only answer this shortly. Most of all, this book made me think about love, and of loss. Both the loss of people and the loss of opportunities. Like with what happened to Laila; her future looked bright, only to be smashed into pieces. But even though this book carries very dark themes, to me it is a book of hope. These are all themes that tend to affect me deeply, emotionally, and makes me draw parallels to my own life, reflecting on my own situation, my own relationships. This book especially gives a wider perspective, and it is a book that gives light; even though you've gone through hell, you can still find happiness. And that if anything is a very reassuring thought, it's one to strengthen. (less)
