In this much-anticipated third novel from the author of The Kite Runner, two siblings (Abdullah and Pari) learn the hard way that extreme poverty drives people to excruciating choices.
Opening in rural Afghanistan during the early 1950s, their world is thrown into turmoil when the adults they trusted conspire to ease their desperation and hunger by tearing them apart. In doing so, they create a ripple effect that crosses continents and impacts future generations.
Written from multiple points of view, this story explores the complex nature of family and is both heartbreaking and heartwarming.
