  2. Characters • Mariam • Rasheed • Tariq • Laila • Mammy • Babi • Shanzai • Khadim • Mullah • Giti

  3. Background of Chapters 12-22 • In the first few sections of the reading it mainly focuses on the life of Mariam and her husband Rasheed. In the very beginning it establishes that they are a happily newlywed couple just looking for love from one another but as the story develops things take an unsettling turn. After the miscarriage of their first child Rasheed started to act very resentful towards his wife. When he would arrive from work there would be little if any words exchanged and it seemed as if he was never pleased with Mariam no matter how hard she tried. As for Mariam, she had her own problems. Not only was her husband becoming more violent and hostile towards her but she was conflicted inside trying to establish who she was to blame, if any for the misfortune she was receiving. As well as dealing with the guilt of how her mother died and blaming herself for that as well.
