Book Synopsis

The #1 New York Times bestselling novel beloved by millions of readers the world over.

“A vivid and engaging story that reminds us how long his people [of Afghanistan] have been struggling to triumph over the forces of violence—forces that continue to threaten them even today." –New York Times Book Review
 
The unforgettable, heartbreaking story of the unlikely friendship between a wealthy boy and the son of his father’s servant, caught in the tragic sweep of history, The Kite Runner transports readers to Afghanistan at a tense and crucial moment of change and destruction. A powerful story of friendship, it is also 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.
 
Since its publication in 2003 Kite Runner has become a beloved, one-of-a-kind classic of contemporary literature, touching millions of readers, and launching the career of one of America's most treasured writers.

    Stayed up all night to Finnish reading this. A story that tears the reader’s heart in to pieces. It is very frustrating to think millions in Afghanistan are facing such inhumane situations.

    Had to read this book for school and my god, did it surpass all my expectations. All at once, a fascinating and depth filled character study and a gut wrenching tale of a country destroyed by war. This book is heartbreaking, thought provoking, frustrating, but overwhelmingly powerful all the way through. Just….wow. I have so much I can say about this book. I just can’t believe how good this is.
