And the Mountains Echoed

A Story That Spans Generations and Continents

From Khaled Hosseini, the internationally acclaimed author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns, comes And the Mountains Echoed — an epic, deeply moving novel about the unbreakable bonds of family, the sacrifices we make for love, and the echoes that ripple across time.

It begins in 1952, in a small Afghan village, when a father makes an agonising decision that will alter the lives of his children forever. From that single moment, the story fans out across decades and continents — from Kabul to Paris, from San Francisco to a Greek island — weaving together the lives of brothers and sisters, parents and children, and the strangers who shape them.

Told in multiple voices across generations, And the Mountains Echoed is Hosseini at his most ambitious and most tender — a novel about what we give to those we love, and what we take away.
