And the mountains echoed

Since the title of Khaled Hosseini's new novel is difficult for his previous readers, but it is one of his most stable and emotional stories so far, more smooth and ambitious than "The Kite Runner" 2003, and the narration was more complex compared to "A Thousand Sunrises" 2007. The story begins with Abdullah and his sister Bari in Afghanistan and ends after more than fifty years passing through stories of those whose paths intertwined in Athens - France - Pakistan and Afghanistan with an interesting plot and an astonishing realistic style. The novel is connected with many themes that intersect with his previous two novels: the relationship between parents and children, the style in which the past influences the present, and they share a tendency to draw a map of a region in the middle ground between the world of bold folklore and the mysterious foggy reality. The events of the story take place in Afghanistan in 1952, where Abdullah and his sister Bari live with their father and his wife in the small village of Shad Bag. Their father "Sabor" was constantly looking for work, which destabilized them, and they lived in poverty and harsh conditions. Number of pages: 544
