But in 1975, on the day of Kabul"s annual kite-fighting tournament, something unspeakable happened between the two boys.
Narrated by Amir, a 40-year-old novelist living in California, The Kite Runner tells the gripping story of a boyhood friendship destroyed by jealousy, fear, and the kind of ruthless evil that transcends mere politics. Running parallel to this personal narrative of loss and redemption is the story of modern Afghanistan and of Amir"s equally guilt-ridden relationship with the war-torn city of his birth.
The first Afghan novel to be written in English, The Kite Runner begins in the final days of King Zahir Shah"s 40-year reign and traces the country"s fall from a secluded oasis to a tank-strewn battlefield controlled by the Russians and then the trigger-happy Taliban. When Amir returns to Kabul to rescue Hassan"s orphaned child, the personal and the political get tangled together in a plot that is as suspenseful as it is taut with feeling.
