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 thirty-four countries.

'Hosseini's ability to reach the core of experiences of love and
loss places him in the company of such fine chroniclers of the new
America as Chang-rae Lee. The Kite Runner is a first novel of
unusual generosity, honesty and compassion' * Independent *
'The shattering first novel by Khaled Hosseini... a rich and
soul-searching narrative ... a sharp, unforgettable taste of the
trauma and tumult experienced by Afghanis as their country buckled'
* Observer *
'A devastating, masterful and painfully honest story ... it is a
novel of great hidden intricacy and wisdom, like a timeless Eastern
tale. It speaks the most harrowing truth about the power of evil' *
Daily Telegraph *
'Unforgettable ... extraordinary. It is so powerful that for a long
time after everything I read seemed bland' * Isabel Allende *
