Their father, Saboor, is constantly in search of work and they struggle together through poverty and brutal winters.

  • "Pari ist drei Jahre alt, ihr Bruder Abdullah zehn, als der Vater sie auf einem Fußmarsch quer durch die Wüste nach Kabul bringt. Doch am Ende der Reise wartet nicht das Paradies, sondern die herzzerreißende Trennung der beiden Geschwister, die ihr Leben für immer verändern wird."
  • ""La decisión de una humilde familia campesina de dar una hija en adopción a un matrimonio adinerado es el fundamento sobre el que Khaled Hosseini -- autor de las inolvidables Cometas en el cielo y Mil soles espléndidos -- ha tejido este formidable tapiz en el que se entrelazan los distinos de varias generaciones y se exploran las infinitas formas en que el amor, el valor, la traición y el sacrificio desempeñan un papel determinante en las vidas de las personas. La historia arranca en una remota y desolada aldea de Afganistán, donde Sabur y su segunda mujer se enfrentan en condiciones precarias a la llegada de otro invierno implacable. Abdulá, el hijo mayor, de diez años, ha cuidado de su hermana Pari desde que era pequeña, y ahora ambos escuchan cautivados la triste historia que les relata su padre antes de acostarlos, la víspera de iniciar un largo viaje que los conducirá hasta Kabul. Allí, en las bulliciosas calles de la capital, dará comienzo este fascinante itinerario que guiará al lector desde el otoño de 1952 hasta el presente, de Kabul a París, desde la isla griega de Tinos hasta San Francisco."--Page 4 of cover."

  • "L'événement éditorial de l'année ! Après six ans d'attente, l'auteur-culte Khaled Hosseini nous revient avec une oeuvre passionnante, d'une ampleur et d'une intensité dramatique impressionnantes. Tour à tour déchirant, émouvant, provocant, un roman-fleuve sur l'amour, la mort, le sacrifice, le pardon, la rédemption, sur ces choix qui nous façonnent et dont l'écho continue de résonner dans nos vies. Dans le village de Shadbagh, Abdullah, dix ans, veille sur sa petite soeur Pari, trois ans. Entre les deux enfants, le lien est indéfectible, un amour si fort qu'il leur permet de supporter la disparition de leur mère, les absences de leur père en quête désespérée d'un travail et ces jours où la faim les tenaille. Mais un événement va venir distendre ce lien, un choix terrible qui modifiera à jamais le destin des deux jeunes vies, et de bien d'autres encore...Des années cinquante à nos jours, d'une petite cahute dans la campagne afghane aux demeures cossues de Kaboul, en passant par le Paris bohème des seventies et le San Francisco clinquant des années quatre-vingt, Hosseini le conteur nous emmène dans un voyage bouleversant, une flamboyante épopée à travers les grands drames de l'Histoire."

  • "And the Mountains Echoed is a deeply moving new novel about how we love, how we take care of one another and how the choices we make resonate through history. A multi-generational family story revolving around brothers and sisters, it explores the ways in which they love, wound, betray, honour and sacrifice for each other. With profound wisdom, depth, insight and compassion - and moving from Kabul, to Paris, to San Francisco, to the Greek island of Tinos - Hosseini writes about the bonds that define us and shape our lives, the ways that we help our loved ones in need and how we are often surprised by the people closest to us. Khaled Hosseini, author of the global bestsellers The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns , has spent six years writing And the Mountains Echoed , which Bloomsbury editor-in-chief Alexandra Pringle describes as 'a big book in every sense of the word. He has told half a century of history, of a land and a people, through so many different characters, all of whom the reader loves and cares for'."

To Abdullah, Pari - as beautiful and sweet-natured as the fairy for which she was named - is everything.
