And the Mountains Echoed

Khaled Hosseini's “And the Mountains Echoed” tells many stories across generations and places. It shows Afghanistan before major changes very well, but the story moves slowly and feels broken up. Each chapter brings in new characters and plots, which can make the story feel less focused. Even though there aren't many exciting parts, Hosseini's writing paints a clear picture of Afghan life and culture, making it an engaging, though slow, read.
