Khaled Hosseini was famous for his heartwarming novel The Kite Runner which was adapted to a movie. I had never read Hosseini's novel before, but I remember watching Kite Runner movie when I was in the Junior High and I love it. So when I find his novel was on big sale (the hardcover price was cheaper than the mass-market edition), I bought it without lots of thinking.
So And The Mountains Echoed is a heartwarming and beautiful story about the bond between siblings. What I don't really like is the time in the story which is a bit confusing, and there are lot of characters that make me think, why these persons need to be included in the story? Where are Abdullah and Pari? But the end of the story answered all of my questions.
The story is about Abdullah and his little sister, Pari, who spent their childhood in Kabul, Afganishtan. Abdullah loves Pari so much, she often collected various feathers of birds for her beloved sister, because Pari loved it. Until one day, the destiny separated these two siblings. Pari grew up in Paris did not know that she had a brother, but deep inside her heart she always felt something missing, someone she love, her family, other than her mother. Abdullah then moved to USA and still always thinking about her little sister.
The destiny finally sent Pari back to her brother. While Pari finally acknowledged that she has a brother, her brother remembers nothing. Abdullah's daughter whose name is also Pari, gave Pari a box of feathers from various birds, intended for his beloved missing sister. Pari did not understand what the meaning of the box, but Pari knew that deep inside Abdullah's heart, he always loves her, as her beloved big brother.
