To Abdullah, Pari, as beautiful and sweet-natured  as the fairy for which she was named, is everything. More like a parent  than a brother, Abdullah will do anything for her, even trading his only  pair of shoes for a feather for her treasured collection. Each night  they sleep together in their cot, their skulls touching, their limbs  tangled. One day the siblings journey across the desert to  Kabul with their father. Pari and Abdullah have no sense of the fate  that awaits them there, for the event which unfolds will tear their  lives apart; sometimes a finger must be cut to save the hand.</P>",
    "description": "An unforgettable novel about finding a lost piece of yourself in someone else.<br></br><br></br> 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.",
