About This Book
After 103 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and with four
million copies of
The Kite Runner
shipped, Khaled Hosseini returns with a beautiful,
riveting, and haunting novel that confirms his place as one of the most
important literary writers today.
Propelled by the same superb instinct for storytelling that made The
Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once an
incredible chronicle of thirty years of Afghan history and a deeply
moving story of family, friendship, faith, and the salvation to be found
in love.
Born a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and
family, Mariam and Laila are two women brought jarringly together by
war, by loss and by fate. As they endure the ever escalating dangers
around them-in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul-they come
to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each
other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own
lives but of the next generation. With heart-wrenching power and
suspense, Hosseini shows how a woman's love for her family can move her
to shocking and heroic acts of self-sacrifice, and that in the end it is
love, or even the memory of love, that is often the key to survival.
A stunning accomplishment, A Thousand Splendid Suns is a haunting,
heartbreaking, compelling story of an unforgiving time, an unlikely
friendship, and an indestructible love.
Khaled Hosseini was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, and moved to the United
States in 1980. His first novel, The Kite Runner, was an international
bestseller, published in 34 countries. In 2006 he received the
Humanitarian Award from the United Nations Refugee Agency and was named
a U.S. goodwill envoy to that agency. He lives in northern California.
