1952, starry night in the desert, a father tells an Afghan parable to his son and daughter. They settled down for the night in the mountains on their way to Kabul. With bated breath, Abdullah and little Pari listen to the story of how one boy was kidnapped by a terrible deva and the poor fellow will face the most terrible fate in the world. But life is not painted in black and white - even in fairy tales... In the morning, the father and children will continue their journey to Kabul, and this day will become a fork in their destinies. They will part, and perhaps forever. The separation of brother and sister will give rise to several intertwining and unweaving stories at once. And in the center of this web is Pari, named so not at all in honor of the French capital, but because that is the name of fairies in Farsi. Five generations, many countries and cities will be involved in the parable of life, which unfolds through wars, births, deaths, loves, betrayals and hopes. A new novel by Khaled Hosseini, transparent, piercing, polyphonic, that any decision made for another person, for good or for evil, has a price, and fate will certainly bill for it. This is a novel about the power of cheap words and expensive deeds, about the deceitfulness of life's purpose, about the inevitability of retribution, about noisy cowardice and silent devotion.
