Today’s Final Jeopardy 5/8/2023 (Numerical Book Titles) – Monday, May 8 2023
This 2007 best-selling novel takes its title from a line in the poem “Kabul” by the 17th century Persian Poet Saib
Today’s Final Jeopardy Answer – Monday, May 8 2023
The Final Jeopardy Answer is: A Thousand Splendid Suns
Final Jeopardy Explanation – Monday, May 8 2023
“A Thousand Splendid Suns” is a 2007 novel by Afghan-American novelist Khaled Hosseini. The title of the work is derived from a phrase in the poem “Kabul” by the 17th-century Persian poet Saib Tabrizi, which was translated by Josephine Davis:
Every street of Kabul is enthralling to the eye
Through the bazaars, caravans of Egypt pass
One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs
And the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls
The story takes place in Afghanistan across several decades, from the 1960s to the early 2000s, and tells the intertwined tales of two Afghan women, Mariam and Laila, who come from quite different backgrounds yet are fated to meet. Laila is the illegitimate daughter of a teacher and his wife, and Mariam is the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy man and a servant. When Mariam and Laila are forced to marry the same abusive man, Rasheed, who becomes a symbol of women’s tyranny in Afghanistan, their lives become entwined.
