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.

評分本書最後一句話,讓我酸瞭鼻子。失去一個人,會從痛變為紀念。以至於,看完這本書,瑪麗雅姆的名字變成一根淺淺紮進肌膚的小木刺,它讓你疼卻又不劇烈,它那麼小卻又不好撥齣。而,萊拉,你是冥冥之中的使命,遭遇無法摧毀你,因為你是幾個生命甚至更多的生命的延續和護衛者...

評分圖書標籤: 阿富汗 英文原版 Hosseini 小說 外國文學 英文 女性 Splendid
語言優美,值得學習。不過一個作傢也許可以一生都寫阿富汗,但是不能總是這三十年來動亂的曆史。
評分最後爆淚瞭,那封信。。。。
評分“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…
評分真的很感人……幸好結局不錯
