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.

Enthralling

An opening into a world I could never know. Beautifully written, bringing both the joys, sadness and cruelties of a journey through privilege and hardship in equal measure.

Beautiful but relentlessly sad.

Such a torturous but well written story. Swallows you up & spits you out. Will stay with me forever!
