AND THE MOUNTAINS ECHOED

‘A story of love, separation, friendship, compassion, exile, memory and the troubled history of Afghanistan, spanning three continents
and sixty years … Hosseini is a master storyteller’
The Times

Ten-year-old Abdullah would do anything for his younger sister. In a life of poverty and struggle, with no mother to care for them, Pari is the only person who brings Abdullah happiness. For her, he will trade his only pair of shoes to give her a feather for her treasured collection. When their father sets off with Pari across the desert to Kabul in search of work, Abdullah is determined not to be separated from her. Neither brother nor sister knows what this fateful journey will bring them.

And the Mountains Echoed is a deeply moving epic of heartache, hope and, above all, the unbreakable bonds of love.
