The number one bestseller, chosen as a Book of the Decade by The Times, Daily Telegraph and Guardian
Khaled Hosseini is the author of The Kite Runner, which was a major film and was a Book of the Decade, chosen by The Times, Daily Telegraph and Guardian. A Thousand Splendid Suns was the Richard & Judy Best Read of the Year in 2008. And the Mountains Echoed was chosen for the Richard & Judy Summer Book Club in 2014, and readers voted it as their favourite of all the titles. Hosseini is also a Goodwill Envoy to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the UN Refugee Agency, and the founder of The Khaled Hosseini Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation which provides humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan. Sea Prayer, his fourth book, was inspired by Alan Kurdi, the three-year-old Syrian boy whose body washed upon the beach in Turkey in September 2015. Khaled Hosseini was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, and lives in northern California. khaledhosseini.com @khaledhosseini
A gripping read and a haunting story of love, loss and betrayal.
Guaranteed to move even the hardest heart
*Independent*
Shattering … devastating and inspiring
*Observer*
Hosseini is a truly gifted teller of tales … he’s not afraid to
pull every string in your heart to make it sing
*The Times*
Rings true with tenderness and truth
*Daily Mail*
A devastating, masterful and painfully honest story of a life
crippled by an act of childhood and cowardice and cruelty … It
speaks the harrowing truth about the power of evil, personal and
political, and intoxicates, like a high-flying kite, with the power
of hope
*Daily Telegraph*
Stunning and heartbreaking in its quiet intensity
*Guardian*
This is one of those unforgettable stories that stay with you for
years. All the great themes of literature and of life are the
fabric of this extraordinary novel: love, honour, guilt, fear,
redemption … It is so powerful that for a long time after,
everything I read seemed bland
*Isabel Allende*
The novel that made Afghanistan the talking-point of every book
group
*Guardian, 50 Books that Defined the Decade*
