When the Soviets invade and Amir and his father flee the country for a new life in California, Amir thinks that he has escaped his past. Their intertwined lives, and their fates, reflect the eventual tragedy of the world around them. Raised in the same household and sharing the same wet nurse, Amir and Hassan nonetheless grow up in different worlds: Amir is the son of a prominent and wealthy man, while Hassan, the son of Amir's father's servant, is a Hazara, member of a shunned ethnic minority. Taking us from Afghanistan in the final days of the monarchy to the present, The Kite Runner is the unforgettable, beautifully told story of the friendship between two boys growing up in Kabul. Over five years on the New York Times bestseller list, and published in 55 different languages.
