An unforgettable, heartbreaking story of an unlikely friendship between a rich boy and the son of his father’s servant caught in a tragic twist of history, The Kite Runner takes readers to Afghanistan during a tense and pivotal moment of change and destruction. A powerful story of friendship, it is also about the power of reading, the cost of betrayal and the possibility of redemption; and an exploration of the power of fathers over sons—their love, their sacrifice, their lies.
Since its publication in 2003, The Kite Runner has become a beloved and one-of-a-kind classic of modern literature, touching millions of readers and launching the career of one of America’s most respected writers.
A #1 New York Times bestselling novel loved by millions of readers around the world.
«A powerful and compelling story that reminds us how long its people [Afghanistan] have fought to overcome the forces of violence — forces that continue to threaten them even today.» — New York Times book review.
