The Kite Runner
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.

This book broke my soul and healed something in me all at the same time. It was so intense. The amount of joy and pain portrayed in this novel is not to be underestimated. I cried at least twice, but laughed out loud just a few pages later. Would highly recommend this book to anyone. Such a deep understanding of friendship, showing how complicated and heartbreaking it can be. A journey for one man to heal from his past becomes a story you just can’t put down until you’re finished.
