Teaser Tuesdays: And the Mountains Echoed

This is such a beautifully written book with some lovely quotes, it’s hard to choose just one to feature on this blog but I loved how one particular protagonist voices her regret at not having treated her mother’s foibles with compassion.

J’aurais dû être plus gentille—I should have been more kind. That is something a person will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old, Ah, I wish I was not good to that person. You will never think that.

~ And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini

I think this is so true, don’t you? You never regret a kindness.

    I really liked some of the quotes from thsi book. But still I felt this book was not as good as Kite Runner was.

      @Avada@ashcerebrations Kite Runner is actually my least favorite book :), I liked Thousand Splendid Suns best followed by this one.

    What a brilliant quote you have chosen for your teaser. I loved The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns but I haven’t read this one…. yet!

      @disqus_mUBrEiIQ5D:disqus This is just as good as the others. Really liked this one too

    Oh, that is an excellent quote (although I personally can think of one person I will always wish I was meaner to).

      @disqus_neEAd4i9jn:disqus haha. We all have that one person I think 🙂

    I’m going to read this soon! I finished reading The Kite Runner today and I loved it. My first book from Khaled Hosseini was A Thousand Splendid Suns, which I loved too.

      @Udita:disqus yeah, that’s true. But I don’t know that I regret being nice to them. I may feel bad about their reaction, but also good if I know that I didn’t drop down to their level….if you get what I mean?
