Khaled Hosseini has written a new novel about how we love how we take care of one another and
how the choices we make resonate through generations. In this tale revolving around not just
parents and children but brothers and sisters cousins and caretakers Hosseini explores the
many ways in which families nurture wound betray honor and sacrifice for one another and
how often we are surprised by the actions of those closest to us at the times that matter
most. Following its characters and the ramifications of their lives and choices and loves
around the globe - from Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos - the
story expands gradually outward becoming more emotionally complex and powerful with each
turning page.
