![]() This reminds us that blood ties don’t always mean love and affection. In contrast to the close relationship between Abdullah and Pari, Hosseini now presents us with a distant, not particularly affectionate relationship between the two twins, Masooma and Parwana. Secretly she’s furious though, and a little jealous of her sister’s friendship with Saboor. Parwana, too nervous to tell the truth, says she doesn’t mind. One day, Masooma finds the notebook and asks Parwana if she could buy from her and give it to Saboor. Parwana is too afraid to give the notebook to Saboor herself, however. Recognizing that she could give it to Saboor as a way for him to write down all his stories, she steals the notebook. One day while she is at a market with her mother, Parwana sees a beautiful notebook. Saboor liked to entertain his friends by telling them stories about heroes and divs. Growing up, the children would often eat dinner at Saboor’s family’s house. Beginning with her painful and time-consuming birth, Parwana was always a “problem child,” especially when compared with Masooma and Nabi, her older brother. ![]() ![]() ![]() She and Masooma are twin sisters, but their mother didn’t realize she was bearing twins until Parwana came out immediately after Masooma. When Parwana was born, she was a surprise.
