Synopsis Author
Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to Kabul to marry Rasheed. Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a local teenager, Laila, as strong as the ties between mother and daughter. When the Taliban take over, life becomes a desperate struggle against starvation, brutality and fear. Yet love can move a person to act in unexpected ways, and lead them to overcome the most daunting obstacles with a startling heroism.

MEDIA REVIEWS
'In case you're wondering whether A Thousand Splendid Suns is as good as The Kite Runner, here's the answer: No. It's better' Washington Post 'Only the hardest of hearts could fail to be as moved' Glamour 'A masterful narrative ... He is a storyteller of dizzying power' Evening Standard 'Hosseini has that rare thing, a Dickensian knack for storytelling' Daily Telegraph

Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini established his career with the phenomenally successful debut novel The Kite Runner. This, along with the novels A Thousand Splendid Suns and And the Mountains Echoed have been published in over 70 countries and sold over 40 million copies worldwide. In 2018 Hosseini published Sea Prayer, a story inspired by the suffering of those escaping the Syrian conflict.
