About the Book Sea Prayer is composed in the form of a letter, from a father to his son on the eve of their journey. This powerful, illustrated book by Khaled Hosseini reflects the current refugee crisis. Watching over his sleeping son, the father reflects on the dangerous sea-crossing that lies before them. Sea Prayer is also a vivid portrait of their life in Homs, Syria, before the war, and of that city's swift transformation from a home into a horrific and bloody war zone. About the Author Before turning into a full-time writer, Afghan-born American novelist Khaled Hosseini was a physician. It was Hosseini’s debut book The Kite Runner, which was set in Afghanistan and featured an Afghan as the protagonist, that brought him fame and urged him to retire from medicine to pursue writing. Apart from The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini has written three other books - A Thousand Splendid Suns (2007), And the Mountains Echoed (2013) and Sea Prayer (2018). Currently, he lives with his wife and two children in Northern California.
