The main character Pari is sold to Kabul. The separation of the two siblings, Abdullah and Pari, is the heart of the book. Both subsequently become "victims of the passage of time": Abdullah, who is older and remembers Pari, agonizes over her loss for most of his life, while Pari is younger and able to forget her brother after losing him. However, by the end of the book, Pari remembers Abdullah and locates him in the United States only to discover that he is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and has forgotten her. Especially, Pari and Abdhulla who are bound to separate from each other because of their different circumstances and conditons, but they are united at the ending of the novel. They spend many years without seeing. Tht is to say they suffer from the sense of ownness. A kinds of the sense of dislocateedness tortures them. The novelist has really shown the love of brothers and sisters. The other chracters like Markus and Thalia who are lso brother and sister are compelled to be isolated from each other. They are also united at the end of the novel which can be taken as instance of unification of familiar relation. At the end, Pari and Abdulla, and Marky and Thalia mneet their dear ones because of their strong toil and dedication for quest for ownness. Here we can claim that they can not leave their own native culture although they are settled in western soceity. If they had lacked such desire for own rootness, they would not have reunited with each others. Khaled Hosseini the Afghan-American writer beautifully delves into the subtleties of human relationships. In his novels, Hosseini has expressed his concern about the wretched conditions of the people in general and women in particular who have been doubly marginalized –one by the society and the other within the four walls of their homes. Drawing upon the notion of E.D. Hirsch's notion of "The Aims of Interpretation" (1976), this reserch proves the hypothesis.en-USFamily bondingTravellingThesis
