War in Afghanistan displaces people like Golam from their family land, while for people like Idris and Timur, it’s just a way a way to make more money from their ramshackle property. A very dormant theme is about the viability of human activities in proportion to one’s mortality. The story, reunion of the two siblings, progresses with it. The war is a secondary backdrop in this novel. The character have an inner turmoil, for a part of them revolts against the love and duty they feel towards their family and subsequently, guilt surrounds this revolt. Abdullah longs for his sister, Parwana is guilt-ridden for almost killing her sister, Nabi is attracted to Nila Wahdati whose husband is in love with him, Idris is antagonized with his cousin Timur’s showmanship, Pari has mother issues, Adel is disillusioned from his hero-worship of his father, Markos is guilt-ridden for not having taken care of his mother, Pari, Abdullah’s daughter, is stuck in a life where her parents are dependent on her. The character have issues with their families which they can’t seem to resolve, a feeling of not being understood by the loved ones lingers.
The inherent lesson it gives is that we take our family to be granted. The major issues of these characters arise from conflicting emotions, and inability to express feelings. All the characters in the story struggle with their feelings towards their family.
The theme also describes how the love of the family members shapes a person for life. It’s not just the amount of time they spend together or like-mindedness, the relationship between family members is shown at a spiritual level. The characters, even when they have other relationships, experience a stronger pull from the bond they share with their family.
The main characters of the story are Abdullah and Pari, and the central story is about their separation and final reunion told through multiple characters each of whom have a different story of their own of a similar theme.
