The Kite Runner
by Khaled Hosseini
Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner follows a privileged Afghan boy and the servant's son who would do anything for him, and the single act of cowardice that shadows them both for decades. It's a wrenching story of guilt, friendship, and the long, costly road back toward redemption.
A Thousand Splendid Suns
by Khaled Hosseini
Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns binds together two Afghan women — one born into shame, one into love — who end up married to the same brutal man as their country burns around them. It's a harrowing, ultimately tender story about the fierce, unexpected bond between them.
