In the book Once, the main character is Eve who can strongly relate to Laila, one of the main characters of A Thousand Splendid Suns. Eve is taken hostage in her father's kingdom, being forced to marry a man she barely knows, while wanting to leave to find her true love again and be happy once and for all. At one point in the book Eve is told that her boyfriend, Caleb is dead. She believes this and weeps and stays in marriage with her forced husband, Charles. This relates to Laila in A Thousand Splendid Suns because Laila is forced to marry Rasheed, is told that her one true love is dead, then stays in the bad marriage. Both Eve and Laila go through tough times with realizing they have been lied to about their true loves.
