******After 103 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and with four million copies of 
The Kite Runner shipped, Khaled Hosseini returns with a beautiful, riveting, and haunting 
novel that confirms his place as one of the most important literary writers today.

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.

A stunning accomplishment, A Thousand Splendid Suns is a haunting, heartbreaking, compelling story 
of an unforgiving time, an unlikely friendship, and an indestructible love.

******When the genteely impoverished and rebellious Evelyn marries the charming Emil, 
scion of a privileged Sinhalese family, she thinks that her dream of a life in England can 
now at last come true. So the family travel, with their young son Milton, from Ceylon to 
Tilbury Docks. But this is England in the 1950s and, no matter how hard Evelyn wishes 
that it would, England does not take kindly to strangers, especially families who are half 
black and half white. A profound and moving novel, this is the story about the search 
                               to feel at home in your own skin.

******In the Pathology Department it was always night. This was one of the things Quirke liked 
about his job...it was restful, cosy, one might almost say, down in these depths nearly two floors 
beneath the city's busy pavements. There was too a sense here of being part of the continuance 
of ancient practices, secret skills, of work too dark to be carried on up in the light. But one night, 
late after a party, Quirke stumbles across a body that shouldn't have been there...and his 
brother-in-law, eminent paediatrician Malachy Griffin - a rare sight in Quirke's gloomy domain - 
altering a file to cover up the corpse's cause of death. It is the first time Quirke encounters 
Christine Falls, but the investigation he decides to lead into the way she lived - and the reason she died - 
disturbs a dark secret that has been festering at the core of Dublin's high Catholic society, a secret ready 
to destabilize the very heart and soul of Quirke's own family...

******' I wonder how the book got to Guernsey? Perhaps there is some sort of secret homing instinct 
in books that brings them to their perfect readers.' January 1946: London is emerging from the shadow 
of the Second World War, and writer Juliet Ashton is looking for her next book subject. Who could 
imagine that she would find it in a letter from a man she's never met, a native of the island of Guernsey, 
who has come across her name written inside a book by Charles Lamb..

As Juliet and her new correspondent exchange letters, Juliet is drawn into the world of this man and 
his friends - and what a wonderfully eccentric world it is. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
 - born as a spur-of-the-moment alibi when its members were discovered breaking curfew by the Germans 
occupying their island - boasts a charming, funny, deeply human cast of characters, 
                               from pig farmers to phrenologists, literature lovers all.

******On a copper-rich tropical island shattered by war, where the teachers have fled with most 
everyone else, only one white man chooses to stay behind: the eccentric Mr. Watts, object of 
much curiosity and scorn, who sweeps out the ruined schoolhouse and begins to read to the 
children each day from Charles Dickens's classic Great Expectations.

So begins this rare, original story about the abiding strength that imagination, once ignited, 
can provide. As artillery echoes in the mountains, thirteen-year-old Matilda and her peers are 
riveted by the adventures of a young orphan named Pip in a city called London, a city whose 
contours soon become more real than their own blighted landscape. As Mr. Watts says, 
“A person entranced by a book simply forgets to breathe.” Soon come the rest of the villagers, 
initially threatened, finally inspired to share tales of their own that bring alive the rich mythology 
of their past. But in a ravaged place where even children are forced to live by their wits and daily 
survival is the only objective, imagination can be a dangerous thing.

******The year is 1962. Florence, the daughter of a successful businessman and an aloof 
Oxford academic, is a talented musician. She dreams of a career on the concert stage and 
of the perfect life she will create with Edward, the earnest young history student she met 
by chance and who unexpectedly wooed and won her heart. Edward grew up in the country 
on the outskirts of Oxford, where his father, the headmaster of the local school, struggled 
to keep the household together and his mother, brain-damaged in an accident, drifted in a 
world of her own. Edward's native intelligence, coupled with a longing to experience the 
excitement and intellectual fervor of the city, had taken him to University College in London. 
Falling in love with the accomplished, shy, and sensitive Florence - and having his affections 
returned with equal intensity - has utterly changed his life. Their marriage, they believe, will 
bring them happiness and the confidence to fulfill their true destinies. The glowing promise 
of the future, however, cannot totally mask their worries about the wedding night. Edward, 
who has had little experience with women, frets about his sexual prowess. Florence's anxieties 
run deeper: she is overcome by conflicting emotions and a fear of the moment she will surrender 
herself to her husband in their honeymoon suite.

******Life and death in Nine Section, a small group of hard-bitten and (to modern eyes) possibly eccentric 
Cumbrian borderers with whom the author, then nineteen, served in the last great land campaign of World War II, 
when the 17th Black Cat Division captured a vital strongpoint deep in Japanese territory, held it against 
counter-attack and spearheaded the final assault in which the Japanese armies were, to quote General Slim, "torn apart".
