And the Mountains Echoed (English, Paperback, Khaled Hosseini)

And the Mountains Echoed is a sentimental story, saccharine sweet and does not lose the bigger perspective of the story. The alignment was perfect and illuminated on every single page. The plot is centred on love between siblings. The story is set in Afghanistan and moves around the world in typical Hosseini style, starting in 1952 and spread across fifty years. There is mammoth storytelling in store for the reader. The story begins with a father and his two children traveling from their village across Afghanistan to Kabul, where their father has been promised work. Abdullah and Pari are as close as any siblings. Abdullah is almost a mother to Pari. This should alone tell you that you will cry buckets during the course of the book. Their father has remarried and the journey has been undertaken entirely for a different purpose which will change the course of their lives forever. The sense of family, hope, loss and love run throughout and yes it may sound clich but Hosseini is a master of this. Hosseini takes a folk tale as well and builds his story within it intelligently and with great sensitivity.
