Afghanistan, 1975: Twelve-year-old Amir is desperate to win the local kite-fighting tournament and his loyal friend Hassan promises to help him. But neither of the boys can foresee what will happen to Hassan that afternoon, an event that is to shatter their lives. After the Russians invade and the family is forced to flee to America, Amir realises that one day he must return to Afghanistan under Taliban rule to find the one thing that his new world cannot grant him: redemption.

A tale of two boys , one well off and the other his servant. They are close as boys until something happens to divide them. Loved this book. It’s about love and betrayal, families.
Beautifully written. It breaks a thousand hearts. Funny, sad and tragic at the same time. A classic
