To me that shows growth and integrity as a writer, and I'm happy to appreciate all three novels for their own merits and not because I've like the author in the past. This novel is more similar to a collection of short stories that have connected characters, but it is a novel because there is a specific thread that weaves the stories together. Each section is different from the others by POV, time, location, even style. Like short stories, the author has limited space with which to portray characters and actions, but each segment of this novel is as intriguing as the next. Each "main character" has depth and breadth and is likable in his/her own right. The scenes and time periods are also depicted with enough balance between detail and relevance. Selfishly, I like this novel in contrast to [b:Kite Runner|77203|The Kite Runner|Khaled Hosseini|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1309288316s/77203.jpg|3295919] and [b:Thousand Splendid Suns|128029|A Thousand Splendid Suns|Khaled Hosseini|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1345958969s/128029.jpg|3271379] because the subject is not quite as gut-wrenchingly tragic or difficult. Certainly worth the read. I had really enjoyed The Kite Runner, so it is possible that my expectations were too high. Khaled Hosseini can tell a good story - the problem here is that there are way too many stories in this book, stories that never get a chance to mature into GOOD stories. You only get glimpses of potential. I really liked the story of Pari and Abdullah, cared about other characters, but it all drowned in subplots... When the book tried going to Greece, France, or California, I only saw their pale shadows. The only place that I could see, smell, and taste was Afghanistan. I wish the novel had stayed there.

Presents a story inspired by human love, how people take care of one another, and how choices resonate through subsequent generations. Afghanistan, 1952. Abdullah and his sister Pari live with their father and step-mother in the small village of Shadbagh. Their father, Saboor, is constantly in search of work and they struggle together through poverty and brutal winters. To Adbullah, Pari, as beautiful and sweet-natured as the fairy for which she was named, is everything. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
