And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini


I have read the past two Khaled Hosseini books, The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns. I have loved both of the books and was excited to here that he had written another one. I read both of them when I was a sophomore in High School and at the end of my senior year the newest one, And the Mountains Echoed, came out. I just was able to pick up and read the book.

This book, And the Mountains Echoed, lived up to the standards of his other two books. I will not give away anything of importance in the plot, in case people who actually read this want to read the book.


So, this book explains happens when loving siblings get separated from each other. At a young age they get separated because the sister goes to a rich family in a big city. Once they become separated the story shows all the people who have met with the two siblings and their relationship with the separated siblings. It shows how when two people love can always find each other at the end they will always find each other. The two siblings love was so great for each other that separation could not keep them apart and at the end they are finally together again, with the bittersweet ending.
