And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Love this book as much as his earlier books, maybe even more.
i love the way the characters are weaved in through the stories making it as though it is a book of short stories but isnt. another one of them books which really touched me with the emotions it portrayed, of loss, love, charity, that family bondedness which is lost but painstakingly tried to be reconnected. except for one character which i couldnt quite fit in, the young boy whose father is described as a philanthropist, other than that the house he was living it seemed to be built on the land belonged to one of the sub protagonist character Iqbal, which i had thought i would be finding out more about him and his perspectives.
Definitely satisfied with the ending of how eventually pari was reunited to her brother abdullah. i knew from the start that was the whole point of the story and im glad the author did not disappoint. and how real the reunion is, at old age with abdullah having alzheimer. not those running towards each other teary full of hugs kind of reunion. perfect in the imperfections of his characters.
And the book is full of nice surprises, to me.
thumbs up many times. loved this book!
