A planine odjeknuše

A planine odjeknuše

Khaled Hosseini

This work of great momentum and ambition follows numerous striking characters from Afghanistan to Paris and from San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos, and tells their touching and irresistible stories.

Afghanistan, 1952. Abdullah and his sister Pari live with their father and stepmother in a remote village. Their father is in perpetual search of work and the family struggles with poverty and freezing winters. To Abdullah, Pari is as beautiful and kind as the fairy she is named after, she is his whole world. He is her protector, more like a father than a brother, ready to do anything for her, even to trade his only shoes for a beautiful new feather in her collection. Every night they sleep next to each other in their coats, tightly embraced. One day they will set off with their father across the desert to Kabul. Pari and Abdullah have no idea that what awaits them there will destroy their lives – because sometimes people say that a finger must be cut off to save a hand.
