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.

I could not put this book down! I really, really, enjoyed this read. It definitely invoked so many emotions. It touched on themes of loyalty, love, betrayal, redemption, and forgiveness. I was reminded that grace should always be extended to others, regardless of who the world thinks is deserving.
That once upon a time - in my lifetime - life in Afghanistan was nothing like it seems to be now. I should have known that but I didn't pay enough attention to world history back then. It's a well-written book and a powerful story.
So happy this was my first read🥹 the ending was what i think i loved the most. I enjoyed reading about the reality of trauma and how war, abuse, and hate can impact a person for life. At times graphic, it left me wanting to know more about the Middle East and ethnic and religious cleansing.
