And the Mountains Echoed

This is just a wonderful novel by Khaled Hosseini, author of The Kite Runner. It's a story of love, and family, and how we are all connected. We start in 1952 in a little village in Afghanistan, with brother and sister Abdullah and Pari. The siblings are as close as two people can be, but when they are cruelly separated, their lives take very different paths.

Hosseini uses Abdullah and Pari's story to interweave several other stories, all different, yet all connected. He takes us from Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to Greece, and back again. We go from 1952 to 2012 to 1968 to 2003. Through it all we meet a group of people who are connected in ways they can't even imagine, and who show us the different ways we love, and the different ways there are to be a family.

I just gobbled this book up, it was just a fabulous story.
