Rescued this abandoned book from a bin! Plan to read and release.

Khaled Hosseini is a master storyteller. In this book he took a heartbreaking, life shattering event and traced the lives of those effected to see how it all unfolds. Just about every chapter is seen through the eyes of a different character, exploring the (sometimes hidden) impact of the original event. He moves the story along and gently weaves the lives of all the characters together whilst giving the reader a glimpse at life in Afghanistan (past and present). I can't remember the last time I read a book with so many characters in it that I loved so much. I think my favourties were Mamá and little Abdullah. I eagerly await Mr Hosseini's next masterpiece...

Just parcelled up, ready for my boyfriend to post at his earliest convenience (due to my broken toes making the post office a step too far for me at the moment). This wonderful book is off to Germany. It's my part of a RABCK swap. Safe travels Book and happy reading to your new Reader(s)!

Thank you so much Shahrun! We got back from vacation last night and I found the book in our mailbox. Good timing!
(hope your toes are healing fine!)

I really enjoyed this book - just like the other 2 from the same author. Great story telling. I especially liked the way the story was told from the perspective of all of the different people.

Will look for a new reader soon.

This book is going to travel to the US with my friend. After she is done reading, she may give it back to me or she may pass it on to someone else. Happy travels (not so) little book!
