And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini
4.0
I'm at a loss of words to describe the feelings this book evoked in me.
There were so many characters with such detailed back stories that it got overwhelming at times. But the beauty of this book lies in its people. There isn't a straight forward plot or a purpose to be achieved.
You weave through the lives of each character, sometimes directly, while at times through their relations. Every time you finish a story though, you come to realize these are normal people, someone who could very well exist in real life. They have made their fair share of mistakes, but nothing was done out of spite, it's all a part of human nature.
You feel for these people, at their sufferings, their intent to set every thing right, their regrets but alas, not everything can be fixed now, can it? They learn to accept life as it is and somehow that heals a little something inside you, the reader.
I enjoyed this book as I've never read something like this before. People who read books for a direct plot might not exactly love this. I myself had a hard time adapting to it. But those that read for characters, these are going to stay with you.
