The beloved author of the international bestsellers The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns returns this May with an eagerly anticipated new novel, And the Mountains Echoed, available now, for a limited time, in an exclusive signed edition. In addition, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the publication of The Kite Runner, we are offering a special anniversary edition complete with a new Foreword by the author.
