A slight clue: he came to the U.S. as a teen, and is a licensed physician.

Not that one. Although there are some similarities to Verghese's book, this entire novel takes place in the country of the author's birth.

That's the one! A wonderful book, and better than "The Kite Runner," I think.If you want to know what life was like for women in Afganistan under the Taliban, you should read it.
