Description

Dear Coconuts,

In this episode, we discuss the painfully heartbreaking story of a woman who faced many difficulties in her life but managed to maintain her dignity through it all. In Khaled Hosseini's A thousand Splendid Suns we are introduced to Marium, who has a stoic personality that shows us we can face anything and no matter how hard it gets always persevere. Khaled Hosseini also shows us the beauty of a war-ravaged Afghanistan, the colors of the country, the strength of the common man and women, and the overall resilience of the people. It's a gorgeously written book and we recommend it to all our coconuts!

P.S. This episode is loaded with spoilers. You've been warned!
