About “Sea Prayer”

This book by Khaled Hosseini is composed as a letter from a father to his son on the eve of their journey. Watching over his sleeping son, the father reflects on the dangerous sea-crossing ahead, and the book also portrays their life in Homs, Syria, before the war and that city's swift transformation into a deadly war zone.

Praise for “Sea Prayer”

“This is a slim book, but one that readers young and old won’t soon forget.”

“‘Sea Prayer’ will take your breath away with its simplicity and grace . . . I started digging into this short masterpiece. The world stopped . . . I carried it around for a month, reading it everywhere.”

“The book may be brief, but it is beautiful, poetic – a distillation of his strengths … It combines Hosseini’s multiple personae, as a wordsmith, as a father and even as a doctor.”
