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
