In The Thorn Birds, Anne Mueller is the husband of Meggie's employer, Luddie Mueller. Anne had infantile paralysis when she was younger and knows what it is to suffer. Anne is considerate and kind, and she and her husband, Luddie, do not say anything when they watch Meggie wait without success for her husband Luke to arrive to visit her each Sunday. She is a good friend to Meggie and desperately wants her to have a baby to keep her company while Luke is away. During Meggie's labor, Anne realizes that Ralph loves Meggie as much as she loves him, but Anne is discreet and keeps Meggie's secret confidential. Anne is so kind to Meggie that she helps her take a vacation when Meggie is struggling after her daughter, Justine, is born. 

You may have a different idea, but it seems like Anne Mueller is in many ways similar to Rahim Khan, Baba's friend in The Kite Runner. Rahim Khan is constantly supportive of the main character, Amir, and gives him the love he does not always receive from his father, Baba. At the outset of the book, Rahim Khan calls Amir to suggest a way to atone for his past sins (which is adopting Sohrab, Hassan's son). Rahim Khan cares about Amir and about his conscience. When Amir is growing up, Rahim Khan is a more sympathetic figure than Baba is; for example, Rahim Khan supports Amir's interest in writing. As Rahim Khan is supportive and thoughtful, he has some similarities to Anne Mueller.

In A Thousand Splendid Suns, one character who is somewhat similar to Anne Mueller is Mullah Faizullah, Mariam's friend when she is growing up. He is supportive of Mariam and, for example, tries to intervene with her mother to have her educated. He is kind to Mariam and provides her with presents, such as her clock, and supports her dreams more than her parents do. In these ways, he is similar to Anne Mueller.
