And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini
4.0
“All good things in life are fragile and easily lost”
Khaled Hosseini is a gifted storyteller. In this around the world reading challenge, I've read all 3 of his books and have learned & loved things about Afghanistan and Pakistan and beyond. His words have the power to not just craft a beautiful story, but stir emotions as well. I will probably read everything this man writes.
And the Mountains Echoed had a different feel than his first two. The storyline jumped decades and continents. It followed a family, and those this family impacted…from California to Paris to Greece and back to Afghanistan. It's a story of family, and the pain & suffering families can suffer. It's about betrayal & heartbreak. And it's about love. It does not lack power or emotion.That being said, it was probably my least favorite of his 3. And a least favorite by Khaled Hosseini is still in my top 15 for the year.
