An unforgettable novel about finding a lost piece of
yourself in someone else.
Khaled Hosseini, the #1 New York Times–bestselling
author of The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid
Suns, has written a new novel about how we love, how we
take care of one another, and how the choices we make
resonate through generations. In this tale revolving around
not just parents and children but brothers and sisters,
cousins and caretakers, Hosseini explores the many ways in
which families nurture, wound, betray, honor, and sacrifice
for one another; and how often we are surprised by the
actions of those closest to us, at the times that matter
most. Following its characters and the ramifications of
their lives and choices and loves around the globe—from
Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to the Greek island of
Tinos—the story expands gradually outward, becoming more
emotionally complex and powerful with each turning page.
