Book Summary:

The Kite Runner is a powerful story about friendship, betrayal, guilt, and redemption. The novel follows Amir, a wealthy boy from Kabul, and his loyal friend and servant’s son, Hassan, during a time of political upheaval in Afghanistan.

Amir and Hassan are close, but their friendship is complicated by class and ethnicity—Amir is Pashtun (Sunni), while Hassan is Hazara (Shi’a), a marginalized group. After a traumatic event where Amir witnesses Hassan being assaulted and does nothing to stop it, guilt begins to consume him. He further distances himself from Hassan through betrayal, leading to deep consequences for both boys.

The story shifts to America, where Amir and his father flee following the Soviet invasion. Years later, as an adult, Amir returns to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan on a journey to make amends for his past mistakes. He discovers dark secrets and gets a chance at redemption by trying to rescue Hassan’s orphaned son, Sohrab.

At its core, the novel explores how one can atone for the wrongs of the past and the enduring nature of guilt and forgiveness.
