My thoughts
Creation
"I hope the book offers emotional subtext to the image of the burqa-clad woman walking down a dusty street in Kabul." —Khaled Hosseini in a 2007 interview. Title The title of the book comes from a line in the Josephine Davis translation of the poem "Kabul“.

Themes
Family
Khaled Hosseini replied: A Thousand Splendid Suns can be seen as a mother-daughter story. He ultimately considered the novels to be "love stories" in that it is love that "draws characters out of their isolation, that gives them the strength to transcend their own limitations, to expose their vulnerabilities, and to perform devastating acts of selfsacrifice".
Themes
Women in Afghanistan
Hosseini visited Afghanistan in 2003 and "heard so many stories about what happened to women, the tragedies that they had endured, the difficulties, the gender-based violence, the discrimination, the being barred from active life,being banned from practicing their legal rights". This motivated him to write a novel centered on two Afghan women.
