It begins in 1952. Ten-year-old Abdullah and his younger sister, Pari, are everything to each other. What happens to them, at the despairing hand of their father, will test the unshakeable bonds of family and irrevocably change not just their own lives, but those of multiple generations.

In this tale revolving around not just parents and children but brothers and sisters, cousins and caretakers, Khaled 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.

And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini is a captivating book that tells a powerful story of family, love, and sacrifice. Set in Afghanistan, this large paperback edition takes readers on a journey through multiple generations, exploring the complex relationships between siblings, parents, and children. With its compelling narrative and richly drawn characters, this book is a must-read for fans of Khaled Hosseini's previous works. Whether you're a new reader or a longtime fan, And the Mountains Echoed is sure to leave a lasting impression.
