And the Mountains Echoed

Khaled Hosseini, the bestselling author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, has created a new novel of how to love, how to take care of one another, and how the options we make affect the next generations. 

 

It doesn’t not simply revolve parents and children but also revolves brothers and sisters, cousins and caretakers. The author offers a lot of ways in which families take care of, hurt, betray, respect, and sacrifice for one another; and how often we are surprised at the unreliable actions of those who we most trust, at the times that matter most. 

 

According to its characters, the ramifications of their lives as well as choices and loves around the globe—from Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos—the story opens  gradually outward, becoming more emotionally complex and powerful with each other.
