He was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, and moved to US in 1980. He wrote The Kite Runner,an international bestseller.
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.

評分 評分“这个季节的第一场雪怎能如此迷人呢?是因为它让人有机会看到一些依然洁白无瑕、未受糟蹋的东西吗?抑或是它让人在积雪被践踏、变黑之前,能够感受到新季节稍纵即逝的优雅,感受到一个全新的开始?” 当雪开始下的时候,这段文字就这样毫无征兆地浮现出脑海。 怎能如此迷人...
“每一個阿富汗的故事,都會被烙上死亡、失去和難以想象的悲傷…”看完三本Hosseini的書,這本堪稱大淚奔,看完好想迴傢和傢人吃個飯,散個步,享受普通而幸運的一天…
