Abstract

The paper attempts to present the difficulties that the main  characters of the novel “A Thousand Splendid Suns” have to  overcome just because they are women born in Afghanistan. They  are unfortunate women who are doomed from birth. Afghan society  does not accept them, and they have to suffer in order to maintain their identity and dignity. Fortune has thrown these women into the world. They are neglected, lonely and abandoned, but they manage to find the strength and fight for their happiness. The purpose of the paper is to highlight the features of Eastern culture in the context of emigrant literature.
