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“這個季節的第一場雪怎能如此迷人呢?是因為它讓人有機會看到一些依然潔白無瑕、未受糟蹋的東西嗎?抑或是它讓人在積雪被踐踏、變黑之前,能夠感受到新季節稍縱即逝的優雅,感受到一個全新的開始?” 當雪開始下的時候,這段文字就這樣毫無徵兆地浮現齣腦海。 怎能如此迷人...

評分God Bless
評分其實故事很行貨,但通過暢銷小說展現不閤理的存在大概也是功德一件,不過後記裏說希望獲得讀者的同情,倒是覺得改變比同情更重要得多。
