And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini

4.0

A third novel riddled with loss and the struggle for redemption, And the Mountains Echoed takes a step back from the heartbreaking direct relationships of Hosseini's first novel, The Kite Runner, to show how the sins of an earlier generation seep through the family line. Hosseini surprises his readers with unexpected plot twists, as is his usual style, and makes us hungry for the connections between characters and events that he slowly unveils. And the Mountains Echoed is definitely a page-turner, but didn't have me as fully invested in the characters or their world as Hosseini's first novel did.
