A Thousand Splendid Suns - Second Monday

[Alixe]

Hi there friends,

Sorry for the delay in posting!

Here is Monday's posting for discussion:

How would your opinion of the novel be different if Aziza as a male and Zalmai was a female?

Laila's friendship with Mariam begins when she defends Mariam from a beating with Rasheed. What do you think Laila takes the action despite the contempt Mariam has showed her?
