Kite Runner (Book / Kitap)


I am very impressed with the performance of Khaled Hosseini at his first novel. It is a very rich story with Afghan culture and near history of Afghanistan; also the story itself is loaded with social and human issues that every modern person faces at their lifetime.

Amir is the son of a wealthy family in Kabul and raised by his father. He grow up with servant’s son. There are social class and racial differences with them but they handle it very well until unfortunate event occur at kite running tournament. They won the tournament but lose the relationship due to Amir’s choice at that day.

Due to Soviet invasion, father and son moved to America to find a new life. But the Amir’s guilt grew by the time. His faith took Amir back to Afghanistan and search for the son of his servants started. This journey brought him lots of facts and unknowns about his family and his life in Afghanistan.

Amir’s struggles and emotions are at every page at the book. I strongly suggest this book to enjoy your reading time.

We have a book club in our neighborhood and read this book two years ago. We also enjoyed it. It was good opportunity for me to talk about Afghanistan from a easterner(!) point of view and answer some of my American neighbors' questions.

This author's new book "A Thousand Splendid Suns" is on the best selling books currently.
