And the Mountains Echoed And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled HosseiniI liked this book but I found it a little difficult to follow all the characters at times. Hosseini weaves a complicated fabric of the past and present and how each life has progressed. I would have liked to have known more about the lives of some of the main characters and the one fault of the book is that it seems to jump around a lot from times and places and leaves you somewhat dissatisfied and wanting to know more.

A menagerie of writings relating to Christianity in a Chinese context in North America. Strengths lie in the interviews of North American Born Chinese (NABC) regarding their experience with Chinese churches in NA. Good insight into issues facing these churches. Unfortunately, much of the book has the feel of a meandering, mixed-metaphor sermon where relating to layers of onions and onion rings.
