In a multigenerational novel revolving around not just parents and children but brothers and sisters, cousins and caretakers, Hosseini explores the many ways in which families love, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for one another; and how often we are surprised by the actions of those closest to us, at the times that matter most. Following its characters and the ramifications of their lives and choices and loves around the globe—from Kabul, to Paris, to San Francisco, to the Greek island of Tinos—the story expands gradually outward, becoming more emotionally complex and powerful with each turning page.
EVENT DETAILS TICKET (admits two) is free when you purchase And the Mountains Echoed from Changing Hands Bookstore. Letter groups (printed on top of ticket) will be called at 11:30am to fill seats and designated standing room. If available, seating and standing room opens to those without tickets at 12:15pm. Space cannot be guaranteed for late arrivals. Booksigning line forms by assigned letter group after the presentation. Those without tickets may get their books signed after ticket-holders, if time allows. Event details may be subject to unannounced changes. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Khaled Hosseini was born in Kabul, Afghanistan, in 1965. The son of a diplomat, Hosseini's family relocated to Paris in 1976, and was later granted political asylum in the United States. Hosseini studied at Santa Clara University and the University of California-San Diego Medical School, and he was a practicing physician from 1996 to 2004. In 2006, after The Kite Runner was already a bestseller, he was named a goodwill envoy to UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Agency. He also founded The Khaled Hosseini Foundation to provide humanitarian assistance to people in Afghanistan. The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns were both international bestsellers, selling 38 million copies, spending nearly a year on bestseller lists, and published in more than forty countries. The Kite Runner was adapted to film in 2007, and nominated for Golden Globes for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Score.

Propelled by the same superb instinct for storytelling that made The Kite Runner a beloved classic, A Thousand Splendid Suns is at once an incredible chronicle of thirty years of Afghan history and a deeply moving story of family, friendship, faith, and the salvation to be found in love. Born a generation apart and with very different ideas about love and family, Mariam and Laila are two women brought jarringly together by war, by loss and by fate. As they endure the ever escalating dangers around them, in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul, they come to form a bond that makes them both sisters and mother-daughter to each other, and that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own lives but of the next generation. With heart-wrenching power and suspense, Hosseini shows how a woman's love for her family can move her to shocking and heroic acts of self-sacrifice, and that in the end it is love, or even the memory of love, that is often the key to survival.
