The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is a profoundly moving debut novel set in Kabul, Afghanistan, where privileged Amir and his loyal Hazara servant Hassan share a childhood of kite tournaments and storytelling. A devastating act of betrayal on a winter afternoon in 1975 haunts Amir for decades. After fleeing to America with his father during the Soviet invasion, Amir returns to Taliban controlled Afghanistan years later to find a way to be good again. Hosseini’s narrative is visceral, tender, and deeply human, exploring guilt, love, class prejudice, ethnic discrimination, and the possibility of redemption. The novel provides a rare and humanizing window into Afghan culture and history.
