And The Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini

 

I read The Kite Runner, by Mr. Hosseini 5 or 6 years ago and it was an excellent and moving book but extremely sad.  When I thought it couldn't get sadder it did.  It talked to Barb W and she was at a book talk by Mr Hosseini and he said that his wife made him change the ending so it was not  quiet so sad.  Man I would of hated to read that ending.  So I have had this book in my collection for some time but was afraid to read it as I thought it would be just as sad.  With what happened in Afghanistan this summer I thought I should read it as he is the only Afghani author I could think of. The book is a bit sad but excellent.  The ending is nowhere near as sad as The Kite Runner but it is a bit sad but does tie up the beginning and the middle up quiet nicely.  And The Mountains Echoed bounces around a bit from the past to the present and to the middle but it is not too hard to keep track of characters during that timeline.  As a father it makes me think of all the decisions that I have done for my children either correctly or incorrectly or at least I thought I was correct at the time but swing and a miss.  If you have not read his work, Mr Hosseini is a very good author and I strongly recommend both The Kite Runner & And The Mountains Echoed.  The question now is I own A Thousand Splendid Suns by Mr Hosseini but do I read it now or later.
