About the author

Hosseini was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 1965. In 1970 Hosseini and his family moved to Iran where his father worked for the Embassy of Afghanistan in Tehran. In 1973 Hosseini's family returned to Kabul, and Hosseini's youngest brother was born in July of that year.
In 1976, when Hosseini was 11 years old, Hosseini's father obtained a job in Paris, France, and moved the family there. They were unable to return to Afghanistan because of the Saur Revolution in which the PDPA communist party seized power through a bloody coup in April 1978. Instead, a year after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, in 1980 they sought political asylum in the United States and made their residence in San Jose, California.
Hosseini graduated from Independence High School in San Jose in 1984 and enrolled at Santa Clara University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in biology in 1988. The following year, he entered the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, where he earned his M.D. in 1993. He completed his residency in internal medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles in 1996. He practiced medicine for over ten years, until a year and a half after the release of The Kite Runner.
Hosseini is currently a Goodwill Envoy for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). He has been working to provide humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan through the Khaled Hosseini Foundation. The concept for the foundation was inspired by the trip to Afghanistan that Hosseini made in 2007 with UNHCR.
He lives in Northern California with his wife, Roya, and their two children (Harris and Farah).

Reviews

[Ruci Tukana · Rating 4 out of 5]

In all his three books, Hosseini takes us to the real Afghanistan we did not know exists.
The war, the treatment of women, injustice, greed, betrayal, poverty, condemnation are woven to bring this Afghanistan to our doorstep. He knows his characters and they are real life people.
The reality of Sharia Law.
I love all his 3 novels.

Teške teme, ali divan stil pisanja.

[Wayne Boodasingh]

An excellent trio of books that give a voice to the Afghan struggle.
I find the last book very sad and sometimes circuitous but a very sobering read.

Emotivne, teške i pre svega sjajne priče. Hvala Haledu na ovakvim romanima. 🙏

-In university I read 'The Kite Runner' for my international literature class.
-After reading that one I did read both 'A Thousand Splendid Suns' and 'And the Mountains Echoed' when they were published.


'And The Mountains Echoed' (re-read in 2024) {it was a book club choice that wasn't voted as the most}
-it was a great book
-each chapter was interesting by itself and then connecting them was neat

Ma šta reći?! Ovo su knjige/filmovi koje ostavljaju bez daha i sve preporuke !
Nad knjigom -Hiljadu čudesnih sunaca - sam plakala na kraju nisam sebi mogla doći, danima nisam htjela uzeti drugu knjigu.. bila sam pod utiscima.
Khaled Hosseini sjajan pisac i čovjek 💫

[Nikola Radaković · Rating 4 out of 5]

Prve dve knjige su mi se veoma dopale, treća malo manje.. Priča u trećoj knjizi je drugačija od prve dve i zahteva više materijala, da je malo detaljnije razrađenija bila bi u rangu sa prethodnim knjigama. Sve u svemu vredi pročitati interesantne su životne priče i likovi.
