A "spellbinding" (Booklist) mystery linking Manhattan circa 1991 to eastern Afghanistan in 2012, Blue Hours tells of a life-changing friendship between two memorable heroines. When we first meet Mim, she is a recent college graduate who has disavowed her lower middle-class roots to befriend Kyra, a dancer and daughter of privilege, until calamity causes their estrangement. Twenty years later, Kyra has gone missing from her NGO’s headquarters in Jalalabad, and Mim—now a recluse in rural New England—embarks on a journey to find her. "Rich and layered" (Boston Globe) and morally complex, Blue Hours becomes an unexpected thriller about freedom and America's role in the conflicted, interconnected world.

“Kalotay is at her spellbinding best... as she brilliantly recreates the yearnings of early adulthood for authentic relationships and a sure foothold on life. Young adults will find much to relate to in this nuanced and dazzling dissection of class and friendship.”—Poornima Apte, Booklist
“Rich and layered ... Kalotay’s sense of place—the physical geography as well as emotional landscape—is as savvy and sharp as her portrait of the friendship between these two women. The novel unfolds cross-continentally, cross-class, cross-hearted, moving from New York City in the early ’90s to Afghanistan in 2012, and in Kalotay’s skilled hands the novel is both richly human and deeply political, exploring how decisions reverberate on both the private and the international stage.”—Nina MacLaughlin, Boston Globe
“A beautiful novel about two lost women... about the ties we choose, the ties we neglect, and the ties that keep us bound to false selves. What’s more, the scenes in Afghanistan feel fully established and integrated into the rest of the book, especially as Mim encounters myriad paths for women within one country and its wildly different cultures. ... So unexpected that you’ll feel breathless.”—Bethanne Patrick, LitHub
