Summary and Research Inquiry of Khaled Hosseini

From reading A Thousand Splendid Suns and The Kite Runner, I have discovered a lot of themes that Hosseini displays in his novels. For my research paper, I want to concentrate on Khaled Hosseini's actual childhood and the history of the soviet invasion in Afghanistan. From knowing a bit about Hosseini's history and the general history of Afghanistan, I feel I will better understand the two works. The underlying themes of these two books are a connection to your homeland and relationships between family members. I think by researching Hosseini's history I will be able to broaden my view of his two books and understand the relationships between characters much more precisely. I plan to look up autobiographies of Hosseini as well as articles about his writing.
