Book: The Kite Runner
Author: Khaled Hosseini
Synopsis
The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father’s servant, The Kite Runner is a beautifully crafted novel set in a country that is in the process of being destroyed. It is about the power of reading, the price of betrayal, and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifices, their lies.
A sweeping story of family, love, and friendship told against the devastating backdrop of the history of Afghanistan over the last thirty years, The Kite Runner is an unusual and powerful novel that has become a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic.
Our Review
We all enjoyed this, sometimes difficult to read, book about Amir and his loyal friend Hassan. A beautifully written novel portraying the difference between the classes and how one traumatic event (and their differing reactions to it) can change the lives of two boys/men forever. A story of friendship, cruelty, loyalty and eventually, redemption.
