Question: who is zalmai in a thousand splendid suns?
Answer: Zalmai. Zalmai's personality lands somewhere between his parents, Laila and Rasheed. When he's with Laila, he takes on a sweet disposition and looks up to his big sister Aziza. When he's with Rasheed, however, he takes on Daddy's masculine air, stomping around and throwing fits when he doesn't get what he wants.
