I finished this book a little bit early because the library had it available a bit earlier than I was hoping. It's a beautifully written novel. I was swept by the original story of Abdullah and Pari. However, there were too many characters that I thought weren't tied together well enough that I only ended up just liking it.
Hosseini never fails to tell a beautiful story. What a great and powerful novel.
This one will be joining "The Kite Runner" and "A Thousand Splendid Suns" on my Keeper Shelf. :)
This is his best book yet because for the first time, the characters are deeply human and by that I mean the characters are not painted black and white like his previous novels.
Love Khaled Hosseini. I really liked this book, and I look forward to his next one!
I have read all the books from Khaled recently and there are so good. And the mountains echoed was different from the his previous books. It had so many points of views and how they connected. Khaled has a way of writing that make you connect with the character and makes you feel their turmoils.
Synopsis:
An unforgettable novel about finding a lost piece of yourself in someone else.
Khaled Hosseini, the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, has written a new novel about how we love, how we take care of one another, and how the choices we make resonate through generations.
In this tale revolving around not just parents and children but brothers and sisters, cousins and caretakers, Hosseini explores the many ways in which families nurture, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice for one another; and how often we are surprised by the actions of those closest to us, at the times that matter most.
Following its characters and the ramifications of their lives and choices and loves around the globe—from Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos—the story expands gradually outward, becoming more emotionally complex and powerful with each turning page.
