Book Summary
The Kite Runner is a powerful novel set in Afghanistan, spanning the tumultuous period from the 1970s to the early 2000s. The story revolves around Amir, a privileged boy from Kabul, and his loyal friend Hassan, the son of his father’s servant.
The novel begins with Amir’s childhood, marked by friendship, betrayal, and a pivotal kite-fighting tournament. After a tragic event that changes their lives, Amir and his father flee to the United States as Afghanistan falls into political chaos. Years later, Amir returns to a Taliban-controlled Afghanistan to face his past, seek redemption, and rescue Hassan’s son, Sohrab.
Themes of guilt, redemption, and the complex father-son relationship are central to the story, as Amir wrestles with the consequences of his choices and the scars of betrayal. The novel also explores the deep-rooted cultural, political, and social upheavals in Afghanistan.
