About the Author

Khaled Hosseini, an Afghan-American novelist and physician, is celebrated for his poignant storytelling that illuminates the human spirit amid adversity. Born in Kabul in 1965, he moved to the United States as a teenager, where he pursued medicine while nurturing his passion for literature. His debut novel, The Kite Runner, became an international phenomenon, followed by the equally acclaimed A Thousand Splendid Suns and And the Mountains Echoed. In his evocative novella Sea Prayer, Hosseini tenderly explores themes of family, displacement, and hope through a father's letter to his son on the eve of a perilous journey across the sea. A UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, Hosseini draws from his heritage to craft narratives that foster empathy and cultural understanding worldwide.
