Khaled Hosseini

Post by Nilakshii »

I just finished reading And the Mountains Echoed, and, as expected, Khaled Hosseini didn’t hold back on the emotional devastation. The way he weaves together different lives across time and continents is impressive, but man, does he love to make his readers suffer.
Hosseini has a way of making pain feel personal whether it’s The Kite Runner’s guilt and redemption or A Thousand Splendid Suns’ heartbreaking resilience. But after reading all three, I can’t help but wonder...does he focus too much on tragedy? His stories are powerful, but do they give a full picture of Afghan life, or just its darkest corners?
What do you think, does Hosseini balance emotion and reality well, or is it just heartbreak after heartbreak?
