Mariam’s mother says: "Women like us. We endure. It’s all we have." In what ways is this true? How do Mariam and Laila endure? How is their endurance different from the ways their mothers faced their trials?
The women presented in the novel have to live by the morals of their society. They do not have as much freedom was women in other coltures enjoy. Like Mariam and Laila they are forced to cover their bodies, they do not have the choice of getting an education and they can not escape from this restrictions. They have no other option but to live like this and handle their struggles as women. Most of the times they are abused by their husband, but like Laila she mantains strong for her daughter. Mariam in her mind hopes for a better tomorrow which keeps her going everyday of her life. This women are forced to live like this otherwise the only option is to live on the streets which they would not survive for long. They must "endure" to have somewhere to live and because they have hope that one day things will change for them. Like her mother, Mariam lives her life story. Laila lives a different one from her mother"s for the were a more "modern Afghans" which is not very popular to see in Kabul.
