Kite runner and the mountains echoed7/6/2023 ![]() ![]() The book blurb's own synopsis may look as though he concentrates on Abdullah and Pari but their tale only bookends the story. ![]() Now, for novel number 3, he does something different. ![]() These people are Afghans and this is their story.īest-selling author, human rights activist and UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Khaled Hosseini gave us the Afghan male experience in The Kite Runner and the female experience in A Thousand Splendid Suns, each book following two specific people (although a different pair each time) right the way through. It's also a nation of great pain and turmoil. They're all very different people, born of a nation of great natural beauty, natural wealth and the cradle of civilisation. Then there are 10 year old Abdullah and his little sister Pari inseparable till something separates them, causing a rift that will haunt them both in some way for the rest of their lives. Nabi is the servant of a wealthy man but carries the secret of a deed he regrets and a love that can't be acknowledged. Idris and Timur may be brothers growing up together but that doesn't mean that they will grow up to be the same. RICHARD AND JUDY BOOK CLUB SUMMER READ 2014 ![]()
