Reviews

Raisa

The story spans across 7 decades, multiple generations, and several countries with intertwined story arcs and a non-linear timeline. Picked this book after Kite runner.

Apart from these, Hosseini sketches out an array of fascinating characters – Nabi, the uncle; Idris & Timur, the cousins; Roshana – a Malala-esque character or Gholam – a teenage boy, wise beyond his years. This fable is the central theme of the book permeating through the rest of the story. Packaging was pretty good. !

I just wish they had given a bookmark with it as well. It all begins with Saboor, a hard-working but impoverished farmer in rural Afghanistan, narrating a fable to 10 year-old Abdullah and his 3 year-old sister, Pari about a desperate father who has to give up his favorite child to a div or demon, in order to save his other children. Despite being a story so vast in time and focus and so rich with subplots and characters, its smooth flow or fluidity is a testament to the skill of this author. Book in good condition.

Amazon Customer

No problems whatsoever. Won't talk much about the author or the story, both are legendary.

Can't wait to start reading it I received this product In a perfect condition although it was a lengthy read but surely worth it.

” The destination in this case is the inevitable reunion of the siblings and it is reached through a network of related characters and their myriad tales. Nila Wahdati, the beautiful, troubled wife of a closeted homosexual and adopted mother of Pari is one of the most conflicting characters in the novel.

But the delivery by amazon went fine, the quality is of the book and its pages is very nice and font is perfectly appropriate too. To say the least, I would consider myself shortchanged from the literary point of view if I had missed reading this novel. . The journey the reader takes in the company of these characters is so beautiful that by the end the destination doesn’t matter.
