The New York Times bestselling author of The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns and And the Mountains Echoed, Khaled Hosseini is back with yet another captivating and heart wrenching tale, Sea Prayer. Based on the current refugee crisis, the illustrated literary fiction is written as a letter from a father to his son. The book is expected to be launched at the end of August, marking the third death anniversary of Syrian refugee child, Alan Kurdi. “Sea Prayer is an attempt to pay tribute to the millions of families, like Alan Kurdi’s, who have been splintered and forced from home by war and persecution,” Hosseini has said.
