Khaled Hosseini recommends
Hard by a Great Forest (2024)Leo Vardiashvili"This novel annihilated me. I gasped, laughed, and wept my way through it. Rich with irony and animated with astonishing humanity, this tale of a young Georgian refugee's odyssey into his birthplace to rescue family left my heart bruised and battered and aching for more."A Word for Love (2017)Emily Robbins"Robbins' melodic novel is story of war, family, language, but above all, a paean to unabashed, unbridled love." The Patriots (2017)Sana Krasikov"The Patriots has convinced me that Krasikov belongs among the totemic young writers of her era." Exult (2009)Joe Quirk"There is gusto in Exult. Quirk dares ask some of life's most fundamental questions: Why do we die, and after we are gone, will we have meant anything at all? How should we spend the time we have been given on this earth?" The Cellist of Sarajevo (2008)Steven Galloway"Though the setting is the siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s, this gripping novel transcends time and place. It is a universal story, and a testimony to the struggle to find meaning, grace, and humanity, even amid the most unimaginable horrors." Rostam (2007)Abolqasem Ferdowsi"Davis's wonderful translation will show Western readers why Ferdowsi's masterpiece is one of the most revered and most beloved classics in the Persian world." The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears (2007)Children of the Revolution
Dinaw Mengestu"A rich and lyrical story... I was profoundly moved by this tale... With effortless prose, Mengestu makes us feel this tortured soul's longings, regrets, and in the end, his dreams of meaningful human connection." Awards
