Khaled Hosseini is today's most important American author.-New York Daily News Collect The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, and And the Mountains Echoed in this box set from international best-selling author Khaled Hosseini. The Kite Runner The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father's servant, this is a beautifully crafted narrative about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption. A sweeping novel of family, love, and friendship told against the devastating backdrop of thirty years in Afghanistan, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful book that has become a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic. A Thousand Splendid Suns 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 escalating dangers around them-in their home as well as in the streets of Kabul-they come to form a bond that will ultimately alter the course not just of their own lives but of the next generation's. And the Mountains Echoed This story follows its characters and the ramifications of their choices around the globe-from Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos-as the story expands gradually outward, becoming more emotionally complex with each turning page.
