Description
In 1952 Afghanistan, ten-year-old Abdullah is devastated when his three-year-old sister, Pari, is sold to a wealthy family. He never fully recovers from this loss. Their father, Saboor, struggles to provide for them through poverty and brutal winters in the small village of Shadbagh. The story follows these siblings and others across continents—from Afghanistan to Paris, the United States, and Greece—exploring the bonds of family, the impact of love, and the sacrifices made for one another. Nine viewpoints weave together, linked by the fate of Abdullah and Pari, demonstrating how choices resonate through generations and how we find lost pieces of ourselves in others.
