Every individual on the earth wants to lead a peaceful life. It’s too far for the rank and file in the society to lead a life in a serene atmosphere. The political influences, the prices going through the roof, the unhealthy competition growing on between the civilians, the influence of economic status etc can be considered as the main impediments. Though it is not impossible, love alone can make the human beings lead a tranquil and comfortable life, amidst the chaos in the society. The present article focuses on how love could win over the tribulations and overcome their predicaments through the characters penned from Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns. In spite of the age difference the two feminine leads Mariam Jo and Laila marry the same man Rasheed, who ill treats women. The writer shows how the sensitiveness in family relations grows between the two wives and makes one of them to sacrifice her life for the happiness of the other. It is again love that makes them to triumph over the desperate struggle against violence, hunger and terror. The writer carefully interweaves the story by balancing the political history and common man’s struggle in a country where life is at stake for a common man.
