From New York Times’ #1 bestselling author, Khaled Hosseini,
comes his third and most recent novel, And the Mountains Echoed. This
book weaves together the viewpoints and lives of eight different Afghani people
(and one Greek) through the generations and brings them together to form a
beautiful, heart-breaking and heartwarming story. Hosseini’s book shares
stories of love, how we choose to show our love, and how we care for others.
From the first page I was hooked, I was so engrossed in it that I sometimes had to stop to remind myself that is was just a book. It was not a fast read, and I found that the book got a little slow in the middle, but it picked right back up and ended in a way that left me both at peace and heartsick.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes historical or cultural fiction, and to anyone who enjoys family-oriented stories. I’ve never had so much empathy for book characters as I did when reading this book, happy when they were happy and hurting when they were hurt. If this book was a person- I’d really like to give them a hug. This book holds such powerful messages of love, loss, and family and is written in a way that makes it difficult to put down. It was definitely worth my time and tears.
