So, then. You want a story and I will tell you one...Afghanistan, 1952.
Abdullah and his sister Pari live with their father and stepmother in the small
village of Shadbagh. Their father, Saboor, is constantly in search of work and
they struggle together through poverty and brutal winters. To Adbullah, Pari,
as beautiful and sweet-natured as the fairy for which she was named, is
everything. More like a parent than a brother, Abdullah will do anything for
her, even trading his only pair of shoes for a feather for her treasured
collection. Each night they sleep together in their cot, their skulls touching,
their limbs tangled. One day the siblings journey across the desert to Kabul
with their father. Pari and Abdullah have no sense of the fate that awaits
them there, for the event which unfolds will tear their lives apart; sometimes
a finger must be cut to save the hand. Crossing generations and continents,
moving from Kabul, to Paris, to San Francisco, to the Greek island of Tinos,
with profound wisdom, depth, insight and compassion, Khaled Hosseini
writes 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.
