Khaled Hosseini, the author of the books "Kite Runner" and "A thousand Splendid Suns" is back with his new book "And the Mountains Echoed". Like the other books, even the story of this book is plotted in Afghanistan. The story is about about the bonds that define us and shape our lives, the ways that we help our loved ones in need, how the choices we make resonate through history, and how we are often surprised by the people closest to us. This book is yet another great gift by the author. I simply loved reading the book and this one is a page turner in the real sense. Although in some parts the book becomes a little heavy, but overall, this is a good book that I have read in the recent times.
