Part 3: Chapters 27-47

Wow, this part of the book was action packed!  After reading Part 3 of A Thousand Splendid Suns, consider the following discussion questions:

• What is the significance of Mariam & Laila having tea together? 
• What does Mariam come to understand about motherhood? 

• Is Mariam justified in killing Rasheed? 

• What is your overall reaction to Part 3?

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.
