Part 4: Chapters 48-51

After reading Part 4 of A Thousand Splendid Suns, consider the following discussion questions:

• How does Laila's life in Murree contrast with her life in Kabul? 
• What forces tug on Laila to return to Afghanistan?

• How does the letter of Mariam's father show his character? (Does it redeem him in some way?)

• What is your overall reaction to Part 4?

Feel free to post a response for 1 or all of the discussion questions.

These discussion questions were taken from a study guide to Khaled Hosseni's  A Thousand  Splendid Suns developed by Jeanne M. McGlinn from Riverhead Books, an imprint of Penguin Group.
