"And the Mountains Echoed" by Khaled Hosseini is a deeply moving novel that explores the bonds between siblings, the effects of separation, and the lasting impact of choices made out of love or necessity. Spanning across decades and continents—from Afghanistan to Paris to San Francisco—it weaves together multiple narratives that are subtly interconnected. At its heart is the story of Abdullah and his younger sister Pari, whose separation as children shapes their entire lives. Hosseini’s lyrical prose captures human emotions with tenderness and complexity. Each character’s journey reveals how love, guilt, and memory echo through generations. It’s a powerful tale of family, sacrifice, and the search for belonging.
