Having read three books by this author and while I appreciate his writing very much I have to say that this one is not as strong as The Kite Runner or A Thousand Splendid Suns. Yes, I liked it but for me it's not an outstanding read. As one who appreciates Hosseini's writing, I have to suggest that others to check it out for themselves. They may feel differently.

This is the story of two people, Pari and Abdullah, brother and sister, and their families. Some are quite successful and become wealthy, others live a decent life while still others find themselves as poor as can be. The author gives us a view of most of them as the book progresses. The novel does begin with Pari and Abdullah and end with them but to find out what, how and why, you must check it out for yourself.
